NOMOS: American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy

New

NOMOS is the annual yearbook of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy. The ASPLP was begun in 1955 by Carl Friedrich to bring together a group of political scientists, philosophers and law scholars interested in exploring legal and political philosophy outside of their home disciplines. The main activity of the society is its annual meeting held on a topic chosen in advance by the ASPLP membership, at which three papers, one from each of the participating disciplines, are presented. The society publishes these papers, along with formal commentary and invited additional essays, in the NOMOS volumes.
