HART: A TWENTIETH-CENTURY OXFORD POLITICAL PHILOSOPHER Reflections by a FormerStudent and Colleague JoHN FINNIs I Herbert Hart was born in 1907, a son of prosperous tailors in the north of England. From the age of eleven he was boarding-schooled in the south, but after some years was educated near home, at an excellent grammar school where he finished as Head Prefect, regarded by the Head Master as a head boy of unsurpassed loyalty and capacity. By competitive scholarship examination he proceeded to New College, one of the University of Oxford's oldest and best colleges, where he studied Greek, Latin, ancient history and philosophy, with brilliant success. Before, during and after his Oxford studies, he travelled widely throughout Europe; he had a gift for languages and throughout his life an immense enthusiasm for places, people, and literature.
  • The Very Idea of Legal Positivism Introduction

    The Very Idea of Legal Positivism Introduction

    The very idea of legal positivism Stanley L. Paulson Introduction Much in recent discussions on legal positivism suggests that the controversy surrounding the notion turns on the distinction between inclusive and exclusive legal positivism.1 As a point of departure in distinguishing them, the separation principle is helpful.2 At the most general level, the separation principle – as Kenneth Einar Himma neatly puts it – denies ‘that there is necessary overlap’ between the law and morality.3 The separation principle counts, then, as the contradictory of the morality principle, according to which there is ‘necessary overlap’ between the law and morality, however this might be explicated.4 What the legal positivist’s 1 An excellent discussion, chock full of arguments, is Kenneth Einar Himma, ‘Inclusive Legal Positivism’, in The Oxford Handbook of Jurisprudence and Legal Philosophy, ed. Jules Coleman et al. (Oxford: Oxford UP, 2002), 125-65. See, too, the detailed statements in Matthew H. Kramer, In Defense of Legal Positivism (Oxford: Oxford UP, 1999); Kramer, Where Law and Morality Meet (Oxford: Oxford UP, 2004). 2 H.L.A. Hart, ‘Positivism and the Separation of Law and Morals’, Harvard Law Review, 71 (1957-8), 593-629, repr. in Hart, Essays in Jurisprudence and Philosophy (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1983), 49-87. 3 Himma, ‘Inclusive Legal Positivism’ (n. 1), 125. 4 ����������������������������������������������������������������������� The claimed ‘necessary overlap’ between the law and morality is under- Revista Brasileira de Estudos Políticos | Belo Horizonte | n. 102 | pp. 139-165 | jan./jun. 2011 140 THE VERY IDEA OF LEGAL POSITIVISM denial of the morality principle comes to can be refined, we are told, by appealing to the distinction between inclusive and exclusive legal positivism.

In every casebook that I have ever seen, the properly promulgated utterances of courts and legislatures are John Arthur taught as having the status of “law” without regard to whether Binghamton University those utterances conform to moral norms or succeed in showing existing legal practice in its most favorable moral light Steven Scalet (i.e., succeed in justifying the exercise of the state’s coercive Binghamton University power against citizens).
