unrushed academic discourse, is a strong reason to take that solution
very seriously indeed. Where contributors diverge, however, we
nevertheless gain from the opportunity to assess their conflicting
points of view and supporting premises and, from a newly informed
and enriched perspective, to make up our own minds.
This book thus contributes greatly to the vital debate in legal
circles and civil society at large about a select number of core
problems arising from our Constitution. It does so in a manner that
demonstrates how to argue productively about basic questions of law
and human rights. And it is full of constructive proposals that will light
the way along South Africa’s new path. For that, the editors of and
contributors to Constitutional conversations can only be commended.
