Law is a vital component of our moral lives, serving as a tool to adjust our moral relationships. According to Scott Hershovitz, legal claims we advance in court are moral claims, and our legal conflicts are moral conflicts. In his book, Law Is a Moral Practice, Hershovitz offers fresh answers to fundamental questions about the nature of law and helps us understand why we disagree about law so deeply. Drawing from a neglected tradition of legal thought associated with Ronald Dworkin, Hershovitz engages with important legal and political controversies of our time, such as constitutional interpretation and the obligations of citizens and officials to obey the law.
Law Is a Moral Practice is a thought-provoking investigation of the philosophical issues behind real-world legal debates, leavened by entertaining personal stories and guided by curiosity rather than ideology. It moves beyond entrenched dichotomies like the opposition between positivism and natural law, providing a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the role of law in our lives. By exploring the connections between law and morality, Hershovitz offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature and purpose of law in society.
