| Итог: | The Preamble to the 1937 Irish Constitution (Bunreacht na hÉireann) invokes God as understood in Christian tradition as the source of human authority and as man's final end. It is sometimes nowadays contended that in a pluralist Ireland this is inappropriate. This contention is here considered in the light of the main arguments made for and against inclusion of a reference to God and Christian origins in a European Constitution. Drawing on work of L. Siedentop and J. Weiler, the author proposes a starting-point for informed public discussion of the issues involved. |
