波斯纳教授的力作《并非自杀契约——国家紧急状态时期的宪法》一书主要是回应“9·1l”之后美国所采取的一系列国家安全措施问题,其讨论主题的严肃和突破常规的结论,在阅读的过程中不断地促使笔者思考关于“公共安全和个人自由”的两难话题,以至于笔者内心经常陷入惊心动魄的场景而难以自拔,并因此颇费了一番工夫才读完此书。 Professor Posner’s book “Not a Suicide Contract - The Constitution of a State during a State Emergency” mainly responds to a series of national security measures taken by the United States after “9.11”, and the seriousness and breakthrough of its discussion topics In the process of reading, I constantly urged the author to think about the dilemma of “public safety and personal freedom ” so that I often find myself struggling in the heart of the scene and difficult to extricate themselves, and therefore took a lot of time to read End this book.
