From a young age Albie Sachs played a prominent part in the struggle for justice in South Africa. As a result he was detained in solitary confinement, tortured by sleep deprivation and eventually blown up by a car bomb which cost him his right arm and the sight of an eye. His experiences provoked an outpouring of creative thought on the role of law as a protector of human dignity in the modern world, and a lifelong commitment to seeing a new era of justice established in South Africa. After playing an important part in drafting South Africa's post-apartheid Constitution, he was appointed by Nelson Mandela to be a member of the country's first Constitutional Court. Over the course of his fifteen year term on the Court he has grappled with the major issues confronting modern South Africa, and the challenges posed to the fledgling democracy as it sought to overcome the injustices of the apartheid regime. As his term on the Court approaches its end, Sachs here conveys in intimate fashion what it has been like to be a judge in these unique circumstances, how his extraordinary life has influenced his approach to the cases before him, and his views on the nature of justice and its achievement through law. The book provides unique access to an insider's perspective on modern South Africa, and a rare glimpse into the working of a judicial mind. By juxtaposing life experiences and extracts from judgments, Sachs enables the reader to see the complex and surprising ways in which legal culture transforms subjective experience into objectively reasoned decisions. With rare candour he tells of the difficulties he has when preparing a judgment, of how every judgment is a lie. Rejecting purely formal notions of the judicial role he shows how both reason and passion (concern for protecting human dignity) are required for law to work in the service of justice.

三星不是书写的不好,是我跟作者的观点有出入。 在死刑问题上,作者认为死刑会降低人们对恶意杀人的厌恶感,但是我觉得死刑某种程度上来说是通过此种方式来建立一种规范,从而压制人们现实中以牙还牙的观念,从而提升人们对恶意杀人的警醒。 在宗教问题上,萨克斯大法官在处理...
評分 評分理想国译丛系列读完的第一本。 真和会部分很有冲击力,复杂到看似无解的政治历史遗留问题最终以圣徒般的宽恕和解方式了结,何况是从受害者之一——失去一只手臂一只眼睛的萨克斯大法官本人口中道出,真的很难叫人无动于衷。当然,大法官文笔感染力也是毋庸置疑地好。 革命与立...
