This book is about legality in its relation with morality. It is to explore
dialectical dynamics in-between the two subject matters, i.e., legality and
morality. It is because, in reality, the ethical foundation of legality is getting
weaker and more ineffectual. That is why the authority of the law is getting weaker
and less effective, as time goes on. That is consequently why there are more violence
and crimes in American society, if not in the entire global community.
 This book is by no means to teach you the law. Legality has its own rich history
and tradition, formal and informal conventions, and profound and diverse theories
and doctrines. This book is simply geared to highlight the ethical dimension in the
nature and function of the law. In brief, it is to "ethicalize" the law in its legislation,
interpretation, and execution.
 Instead of discussing in detailed theories and doctrines of the law being entertained
by its complexities and diversities, this book is to investigate philosophically major
themes of the law, mainly in order to reveal their inherent connections with ethics and
ultimately to emphasize the crucial necessity of ethics in legality. Unless we radically
increase the ethical implication in legality, the humanity may not be able to entertain
the twenty-second century.
