Hart, HLA (1988). "Answers to Eight Questions". In Duarte d'Almeida, Luis; Edwards, James; Dolcetti, Andrea (eds.). Reading HLA Hart's The Concept of Law. Oxford: Hart Publishing (published 2013). ISBN 1782252169. OCLC 884479238. The Concept of Law is the most important and original work of legal philosophy written this century. First published in 1961, it is considered the masterpiece of H.L.A. Hart's enormous contribution to the study of jurisprudence and legal philosophy. Its elegant language and balanced arguments Also, every single person has his own definition for the three-letter word. Even the judges that make law, give judgements according to time. As historical school is concerned with time, this school is concerned about space. It collects and examines rules that are prevalent and the man who agree and disagree with the system and tries to find a system which is natural. Natural system will be the system what all men wanted to have but due to different laws couldn’t. Another feature is, that it was considered to be permanent. It did not end with the death of the king, rather the eldest son of the king became the next ruler, the principle of primogeniture.

Por otro lado, Max Weber, con su meticulosa mirada sociológica, proporciona a Hart una lente para entender el derecho en su contexto social. Hart adopta de Weber la idea del derecho como un tipo de autoridad racional-legal, distinguiéndolo de otras formas de poder. La visión weberiana sobre la legitimidad y la burocracia resuena en el análisis de Hart sobre cómo las reglas son reconocidas y aplicadas en una comunidad. They regarded law as a social institution. They believed that laws are not created by state. Laws come from society. The laws are not sanctioned by the state but by the awareness on the part of people. This is not allowed as man is considered to be selfish. He will think of his self-interests and not of the society. He will think only of himself, which will aggravate the situation. This will later lead to agitation and violence which will eventually result in mob lynching as not all the sector’s needs will be taken up.

The Concept of Law emerged from Hart's initial lectures as Oxford Professor of Jurisprudence following Arthur Goodhart's retirement, in 1952. [7] [8] Among Hart's early lectures on law that are expanded in the book is his 1953 essay titled, "Definition and Theory in Jurisprudence." [9] Hart's discussion of Austin's legal positivism, the separation of law and morality, and the open-texture of legal rules can be seen in his April 1957 presentation of the Oliver Wendell Holmes Lecture at Harvard Law School titled, "Positivism and the Separation of Law and Morals ." [10] The book developed a sophisticated view of legal positivism. A wonderful attempt at describing what law is, using the realm of rules so as to describe the legal phenomenon as a concatenation of primary (normative) and secondary rules (of recognition, of change, and of adjudication). I would say this is one of the few necessary legal philosophical readings for any lawyer and legal researcher. I would also recommend reading it with a broader circle of like-minded individuals, on a per-chapter basis, allowing for fruitful discussions on the material. So, just imagine a day without law. A hell lot of problems will arise if there is not any law. We humans are filled with self-interest and our selfishness will override every single thing on this planet. There will be misery all around. There will be war of all against all. Thus, law acts as a guard of all the negative human emotions of life. Law are guidelines which are required to be followed.

This takes into account the customary practices and circumstances for providing with a new law. The theory can be understood with descriptive way or prescriptive way or both.

series of challenges to Hart's Concept of Law . It seemed that Hart let these challenges go unanswered until, after his death in 1992, his answer to Dworkin's criticism was discovered among his papers. He believed that there was no need for the word sovereignty to understand the meaning of law and to locate the applications of legal norms. He believed that legal norms are not valid because they are given by sovereign or compatible with moral laws. He discarded the theory that sovereignty is the ultimate source of law. Even in ancient times there were certain customs which acted as laws. In other words, it can be said that law can be called as the supreme force which acts as a catalyst between society and illegal practices. urn:oclc:746468033 Republisher_date 20120315214800 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20120315141441 Scanner scribe17.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Worldcat (source edition)
