LEGAL POSITIVISM AND NATURAL LAW Three lectures by the Harvard Law
School professor examine legal positivism and natural law. In the
course of his analysis Fuller discusses Kelsen's theory as a
reactionary theory and Hobbes' theory of sovereignty. He defines
legal positivism as the viewpoint that draws a distinction "between
the law that is and the law that ought to be" and interprets
natural law as that which tolerates a combination of the two. He
looks at the effects of positivism's continued influence on
American legal thinking and concludes that law is necessary in a
democracy as a principle of order. LON L. FULLER 1902-1978] was a
professor at Harvard Law School and is remembered for his
contributions to the law of contracts. His debate with H.L.A. Hart
in the 1958 Harvard Law Review (Vol. 71) is noteworthy because it
provided the framework for subsequent debates about legal
positivism and natural law.
