"Among the important books in the history of American legal philosophy.  It includes insights into the relations between morality and law, and advances a theory of law of great practical relevance. . . . [This] is the best discussion of the demands of the rule of law in existing literature."―Robert S. Summers, Journal of Legal Education

"Throughout this profound, imaginative and keenly analytical work, [Fuller] demonstrates his continuing concern with the tension in morality and law between the 'is' and the 'ought'. . . . A book of ideas should . . . provoke and contribute new thoughts. This book does both."―Barry R. Mandelbaum, New York Law Forum

In this classic work the legal philosopher Lon L. Fuller explores the relationship between law and morality, distinguishing between the morality of duty and the morality of aspiration.

Product description

Review

"This is an exception in that it comes as close as is feasible to resenting legal philosophy in popular form. . . . He has managed the considerable trick of making his thoughts palatable and even entertaining."―Library Journal

Jellycookie
3.0 out of 5 stars Dry and boring
Reviewed in Australia on 27 December 2020
Verified Purchase
Its a decent read which gives you alot to think about with respect to how modern legal systems have evolved. Personally I found the content really dry and like most philosophy texts, takes a long time to articulate one point before repeating it in a dozen different ways.

Obviously this isn't a topic for me - however those aspiring to become legal theorists may find it fascinating.

5.0 out of 5 stars The internal morality of law.
Reviewed in the United States on 3 April 2023
Verified Purchase
What is law? What is legal positivism? Does law require morality written within it to be understood as being good law? Fuller males his case for morality in the law versus Hearts idea that law should be written in purely analytical legal positivism,. I agree with Fuller, law without morality is a dead thing for dead things.

Very accessible read. I have turned to or remembered this book many times in 7 years of studying law. Well worth taking a few days to read it thoroughly.
