The distinction between law and ethics in natural law theory Book

Presupposing a dialectically necessary connection between law and morality, largely as set out by Beyleveld and Brownswold, Harris (law, Kingston U.) contends that the categorization of law as a species of moral order is not a complete and thorough theorization of The Legal as an object of social-scientific analysis. That assertion by itself, he says, does not indicate what kind of moral phenomenon law is, and does not elucidate any of the characteristics of the legal as a distinct sub-category of morality. He sets out therefore, to distinguish the legal moral from the non-legal moral. His study is based on a doctoral thesis for the University of Sheffield. It is double spaced Annotation c.
