The aim of the course is to provide a critical overview of legal history in Italy and Europe between the Middle Ages and the Contemporary Age, with particular reference to the issues of justice and the protection of fundamental rights.
The main educational goals are:
1) To make students aware of the complexity of legal phenomena, which cannot be isolated from the social, political and economic context.
2) To verify the assumption according to which law is a product of history.
3) To invite students to problematize the study of legal disciplines.
4) To invite students to analyze the difficult balance between security and individual (and collective) rights over the centuries in different geographical and cultural contexts.
