| - | Dit boek behelst een helder en overtuigend geschreven argumentatie ten faveure van een actuele waardering van het normatieve aspect van de klassieke [[natuurrecht]]sleer. Dit normatieve denken staat haaks op de postmodernistische mainstream-filosofie van de onbeperkte relativering, en is daarom een nieuwe aanzet. Cliteurs redeneertrant is er op berekend ook diegenen te overtuigen die weinig of niets moeten hebben van de normatieve elementen van het natuurrecht. De manier waarop hij dit wezenlijk normatieve aspect van het natuurrecht over het voetlicht brengt, komt heel modern en eigentijds over. In dit zestien jaar geleden geschreven werk houdt Cliteur zijn seculiere optie nog open, terwijl hij die nu als min of meer vanzelfsprekend poneert. Hij is in dit boek bijvoorbeeld in een waarderend gesprek met belangrijke christelijk geïnspireerde rechtsfilosofen en denkers, met name van de Vrije Universiteit te Amsterdam. Naast de inhoudelijke betekenis van dit werk op zichzelf, ligt het belang van deze uitgave in de prominente plaats die het inneemt binnen de denkontwikkeling van Paul Cliteur. | + | *[[Legal anthropology]] |

Legal cultures are described as being temporary outcomes of interactions and occur pursuant to a challenge and response paradigm. Analyses of core legal paradigms shape the characteristics of individual and distinctive legal cultures. "Comparative legal cultures are examined by a field of scholarship, which is situated at the line bordering comparative law and historical jurisprudence."
Legal cultures can be examined by reference to fundamentally different legal systems. However, such cultures can also be differentiated between systems with a shared history and basis which are now otherwise influenced by factors that encourage cultural change. Students learn about legal culture in order to better understand how the law works in society. This can be seen as the study of Law and Society. These studies are available at schools such as Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.
