LAW AND VALUES -SOME REMARKS ABOUT KEY IDEAS OF MODERN LAW

Summary/Abstract: The ancient Greeks, in laying the foundations for our culture, have at the same time marked it with a kind of original sin, and often these basic notions become untranslatable into our present day. It all begins with Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Fundamental ancient concepts such as democracy, law, politics, ethics have their origins in the polis, so simple analogies are no longer possible; Socrates lays the foundations of political participation, rule of law, raises ethics to the status of knowledge, but the ancient city-state and its inhabitants often differed from us in a fundamental way. Antiquity left us convinced of the existence of an inseparable relationship between values and virtues and the state.
