| Course Contents |
| The course is covered in two main parts. Philosophy of law clarifies the intersections of law with morality, justice and politics. In this direction, the thinkers and theories that have a place in the history of thought are mentioned, and the student is given the opportunity to comprehend them, make their own deductions and gain an original perspective. Sociology of law, on the other hand, is an independent discipline that focuses on every issue where law and society intersect. In this context, the path followed is not to examine theories and thinkers, but to reveal the connection of social facts and themes with law, and to develop a legal approach to social events. |
