Über dieses E-Book

Refusal, Transition and Post-apartheid Law under editorship of professor Karin van Marle is indeed long overdue. As some of the authors in the relevant contributions to this publication rightly point out, Van Marle?s call for a ?jurisprudence of generosity?, enabled through an ?ethics of refusal?, signals a new shift in South African jurisprudence. Through the lens of Van Marle?s ethics of refusal and her jurisprudence of generosity, the articles present fresh and meaningful interpretations in respect of a range of very relevant topics ranging from property theory and a rethinking of human rights, to the role of forgiveness and the dangers inherent in modern technology.
