Abstract

H.L.A. Hart's Concept of Law has had perhaps most profound effect this century on development of legal theory, laying foundation for a theoretical construct that has become effectively the modern juristic orthodoxy. Robert Moles's book sets out to radically reinterpret Hart's thesis and Positivist tradition. He argues that Harts's analysis is fundamentally flawed and, setting himself against a formalistic position shows how social, historical and intellectual contexts must play a fundamental part in legal understanding and justification. The author's conclusions have major implications for modern judicial law-making and legal codification by freeing them from bonds of Hart's rule-centred concept. Legal theorists; political and social theorists; philosophers.
