Definition
Legal positivism is a school of thought in philosophy of law. The principal claims of legal positivism are that:
There is no inherent or necessary connection between the validity conditions of law and ethics or morality.
Laws are rules made, whether deliberately or unintentionally, by human beings.
Laws must follow the rules of determinism (the view that every event, including human cognition, behavior, decision, and action, is causally determined by an unbroken chain of prior occurrences. With numerous historical debates, many varieties and philosophical positions on the subject of determinism exist from traditions throughout the world.) |
