Natural Law: Morality and Obedience
O ovoj e-knjizi
This short opus is part of a collection of a larger body of work, which are dedicated to the subject of law or legal obligation. This installment focuses on natural law. The goal here is to elucidate the essentiality of citizen obedience. Another goal here is to make the case that, while in theory the notion of natural law seems to contradict the concept known as positive law, when it comes to legal obligation (in practice of course), any distinction, if it were to exist at all, is negligible.
This text examines the degree to which natural law (as presently understood) could explicate the reason people may feel obligated to obey laws. The book further explores the rationale for legal obedience in terms of morality and reason. It examines popular legal precepts, notably positive law and other doctrines related to natural law.
The arguments echoed throughout the text are unique. But it is important to point out that a full appreciation of the notion of Natural Law may require some anterior understanding about the concept of Legal Theory. I encourage you to keep a positive outlook as you navigate the manuscript.
