Publisher's Synopsis
A discussion of the distinction between the "legal moral" and the "non-legal moral". The book examines the work of several leading legal idealists: Fuller, Llewellyn, Finnis, Kelsen, Kant, Beyleveld and Brownsword. It argues that the legal point of view is the point of view of enforcement. The non-legal moral point of view is that of rightness of a behaviour abstracted from the issue of enforcement.
