Vicious Law, Law-Abidance and the Virtue of Civic Practical Wisdom
The article contributes to the ongoing discourse on the general duty to obey the law by proposing a novel approach grounded in virtue ethics. The analysis begins by establishing the concept of the general duty to obey the law and the associated issues, namely civil disobedience and obedience to an unjust law. For this purpose, the article briefly examines Henry Thoreau’s work and considers the examples of a grudge-informer case and Adolf Eichmann…

The filmmakers recreated fairly freely the motive of the controversial ‘trial of the century’, offering the viewers an allegory of political events of the 1950s instead of historical accuracy. At the same time, it was a universal e…
