Beschreibung

Wacky Laws explores the world's most unusual and bizarre legislation, revealing the surprising reasons behind their existence. These "wacky laws," often dismissed as mere curiosities, offer a unique lens through which to examine a society's values and understand how odd regulations can stem from serious concerns. For example, some historical laws were enacted in response to specific crises, reflecting a society's immediate fears. Others mirror ingrained cultural values, dictating social behavior in ways that might seem strange to outsiders. The book takes a multi-disciplinary approach, combining history, politics, and cultural studies to explain these strange laws. It begins by introducing foundational legal concepts and the historical backdrop, then progresses to examine laws shaped by historical events and cultural values. It then looks at regulations created to address specific social issues. Ultimately, Wacky Laws demonstrates that even the most unconventional laws are products of their time, reflecting the beliefs and priorities of those who created them.

    The Summa Theologica (or the Summa Theologiae or simply the Summa, written 1265–1274) is the most famous work of Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274) although it was never finished. It was intended as a manual for beginners and a compilation of all of the main theological teachings of that time. It summarizes the reasoning for almost all points of Christian theology in the West, which, before the Protestant Reformation, subsisted solely in the Roman Catholic Church. The Summa's topics follow a cycle: the existence of God, God's creation, Man, Man's purpose, Christ, the Sacraments, and back to God. (Summary adapted from the Wikipedia)This selection of the Summa Theologica covers questions 1-46 of the Secunda Secundae ("Second-half of the Second Part"), comprising a Treatise on the Theological Virtues: Faith (questions 1-16), Hope (questions 17-22), and Love (questions 23-46).
