Philosophy of Law
(Offered as PHIL-224 and LJST-211) Law shapes every corner of our lives. Law defines our rights against the state as well as our obligations to it. Law makes us into citizens, criminals, owners, spouses, and more. But what justifies law’s enormous power over us, and what is law, really? This course, an introduction to legal philosophy, explores the nature of law’s authority and in particular, law’s relationship to morality. Our questions will include: Are laws best understood as social conventions or as moral truths? When, if ever, is criminal punishment justified?
