Its central tenet has long been that there is no necessary connection between law and morality. This book provides a broad but clear and jargon-free account of the central objections to the theory and why those objections are sufficient to show that legal positivism is no longer tenable. This includes a broad critique of the purported distinction method of legal positivism, the idea of conceptual analysis, as well as a detailed assessment of the most influential of all legal positivist theories, that of H.L.A. Hart. The book also provides a defense of the natural law school, which holds in contrast to legal positivism that the authority of law arises from its intrinsic connection to morality. The author demonstrates that most of the criticism of the natural law school arises from a caricatured account of that doctrine, for instance the idea that it requires substantive theological commitments or particular conceptions of human nature. In contrast, the author presents an account of natural law theory that is grounded in a commitment to moral truth, but not to any theological beliefs. The nature of law can only be understood in terms of its moral function, to provide a clear set of moral rules that are required for a society to function effectively. 001482864 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001482864 650_0 $$aLegal positivism. 001482864 650_0 $$aLaw$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 001482864 650_6 $$aPositivisme juridique. 001482864 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482864 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKaufman, Whitley R.
