Abstract

This article provides a sweeping overview of the long-running debate on the relationship between law and morality, starting with the 1934 publication of Hans Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law and continuing to the present (Robert Alexy, John Finnis). Deftly analyzed in this work are the noteworthy arguments of Anglo-Saxon legal positivists H.L.A. Hart and Joseph Raz, Ronald Dworkin’s harsh critique of positivism, critical contributions to the debate by John Rawls and Jurgen Habermas, and advances in natural law theory put forward by Jacques Maritain, Michel Villey, John Finnis, and Javier Hervada.
