Description
Law Is a Moral Practice by Scott Hershovitz is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between law and morality. Hershovitz argues that law is not separate from morality, but rather a tool we use to adjust our moral relationships. In this book, Hershovitz engages with key debates in public life, including constitutional interpretation and the obligations of citizens and officials to obey the law. He offers fresh answers to fundamental questions about the nature of law, moving beyond entrenched dichotomies like the opposition between positivism and natural law. With a nuanced approach guided by curiosity rather than ideology, Hershovitz provides a compelling investigation into the philosophical issues behind real-world legal debates.
