Programme
Co-organized by the Law Department and the Max Weber Programme
Villa La Fonte, Friday 21 May 2010
Sir Neil MacCormick (1941-2009) was one of the most distinguished legal philosophers and scholars of our generation. Educated in Glasgow and Oxford, he taught and wrote extensively on a wide range of subjects from philosophy to constitutional European law. In MacCormick we find a unique combination of a passionate commitment to the Scottish National party and to the cause of Scottish independence with a rigorous intellectual pursuit of the questions of sovereignty and European nationality.
This conference aims to pay tribute to the wide range of his scholarship and explore the interconnections between the issues that engaged him throughout his career. The intention is to contribute not only to the fields of legal philosophy and the political theory of European Union, but also to foster cooperation between scholars from both areas.
