EnglishAbstract
Our modern legal system is based on the principle of
equality. But is equality perhaps not also a concept that
inadequately describes the complexity of normative orders?
Highly differentiated societies with a multitude of collective
identities and functional rationalities are in a permanent
state of tension with this legal postulate. The contributions
to this volume examine how this tension has developed in
Europe and Latin America over the last 200 years
