The Morality of Law: The Storrs Lectures Series
Autor Lon L. Fulleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 1965
In
a
lengthy
new
concluding
chapter
labeled
"A
Reply
to
Critics,"
Lon
L.
Fuller
extends
and
clarifies
his
definition
of
the
relation
between
law
and
morality
put
forward
in
the
first
(1964)
edition
ofThe
Morality
of
Law.
His
original
argument
distinguishes
between
the
morality
of
duty
and
the
morality
of
aspiration,
both
of
which
bear
on
the
design
and
operation
of
social
institutions:
the
former
by
setting
the
necessary
preconditions
of
any
purposive
social
endeavor,
the
latter
by
suggesting
the
directions
for
such
endeavor.
In
the
revised
edition,
Fuller
takes
accurate
aim
at
the
school
of
legal
philosophy
called
the
New
Analytical
Jurists
and
continues
his
long-running
debate
with
his
major
intellectual
antagonist,
H.L.A.
Hart.
Although
the
author
calls
the
new
chapter
"A
Reply
to
Critics,"
his
expressed
reason
for
undertaking
it
indicates
that
it
is
more
than
that:
"As
critical
reviews
of
my
book
came
in,
I
myself
became
increasingly
aware
of
the
extent
to
which
the
debate
did
indeed
depend
on
'starting
points'
-
not
on
what
the
disputants
said,
but
on
what
they
considered
it
unnecessary
to
say,
not
on
articulated
principles
but
on
tacit
assumptions.
What
was
needed,
therefore,
it
seemed
to
me,
was
to
bring
these
tacit
assumptions
to
more
adequate
expression
than
either
side
has
so
far
been
able
to
do."
There
is
no
question
that
Mr.
Fuller
here
gives
the
assumptions
of
his
side
adequate
expression.
“The
volume
must
be
regarded
as
an
important
contribution
of
general
interest
to
the
study
of
the
nature
and
function
of
law…Trenchant
comment
abounds
throughout
the
book,
and
there
is
an
immense
amount
of
the
most
valuable
material
here,
as
well
as
considerable
food
for
the
thought…his
book
deserves
to
reach
a
very
wide
audience.”
–Law
Times.
“The book is a provocative one which is certain to excite much academic comment here and abroad.” –Harvard Law Record.
“Although fully intelligible to the undergraduate, this book is likely to receive its warmest reception form advanced students of the philosophy of law, who will welcome the relief provided from the frequently sterile tone of much recent work in the field.” –Choice

Descriere
In a lengthy new concluding chapter labeled "A Reply to Critics," Lon L. Fuller extends and clarifies his definition of the relation between law and morality put forward in the first (1964) edition of The Morality of Law. His original argument distinguishes between the morality of duty and the morality of aspiration, both of which bear on the design and operation of social institutions: the former by setting the necessary preconditions of any purposive social endeavor, the latter by suggesting the directions for such endeavor.
In the revised edition, Fuller takes accurate aim at the school of legal philosophy called the New Analytical Jurists and continues his long-running debate with his major intellectual antagonist, H.L.A. Hart. Although the author calls the new chapter "A Reply to Critics," his expressed reason for undertaking it indicates that it is more than that: "As critical reviews of my book came in, I myself became increasingly aware of the extent to which the debate did indeed depend on 'starting points' - not on what the disputants said, but on what they considered it unnecessary to say, not on articulated principles but on tacit assumptions. What was needed, therefore, it seemed to me, was to bring these tacit assumptions to more adequate expression than either side has so far been able to do." There is no question that Mr. Fuller here gives the assumptions of his side adequate expression.
