Jahrbuch für Recht und Ethik /Annual Review of Law and Ethics

The sixth volume of the Annual Review of Law and Ethics is devoted to the ethics and legal ramifications of altruistic and supererogatory conduct. It considers the historical origin of the concepts, their internal logic and its relation to the concept of duty, their relevance within a theory of state and of international relations between states, and their basis from the point of view of modern theories of evolutionary psychology.
