Constitutional Law C. Picking the Best Morality for Discrete Areas of Law CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION Law and morality--my, what an old friend the topic for this Conference seems to me. Showing that was infused with morality was my first topic in jurisprudence. Indeed, it is what drew me into jurisprudence at all. I was interested in philosophy and long before I became interested in jurisprudence, that is, the philosophy of law. It was seeing as a branch of ethics--as related intimately to morality--that made jurisprudence interesting enough for me to pursue it. This was not just because I, like others in my generation of legal philosophers, grew up in the shadow of the Hart-Fuller debate (in which the relationship of to morality was central). (1) It was rather because showing how was part of morality made the abstract study of law, that is, legal philosophy--seem a more noble calling, not a mere techne, a trade, a matter for the sharp pencils crowd and legal jujitsu. Seeing as obligating, at least of judges if not citizens, made law--and the question of law's nature--matter in a way that positivistic social sciences of never did. (2) I have organized my remarks around the four aspects of the topic of and morality that have dominated my own jurisprudential scholarship and teaching these past four decades. The first is the relationship between the that obligates judges, and morality: exactly how, in what ways, does that relate to morality? The second involves the proper aims and limits of lawmaking in a democratic society: put simply, is it proper to legislate morality? The third is the nature of that morality to which the that we either have, or ought to have, is related: is the part of justice under law real or conventional morality? The fourth is the content of that morality apt to be part of the we have or ought to have: should be concerned with virtue, or should it focus on rights and obligations only? If the latter, is it deontological or consequentialist morality that is of most relevance to law? If consequentialist, is it utilitarian or a more pluralistic consequentialism? If it is deontological, is it libertarian (natural right) or egalitarian (distributive justice) in nature? These are not just questions of the general shape of ethics and meta-ethics (although they are also that). They are also questions about that part of morality apt for law--justice, say, rather than personal virtue. This is a laughably large set of topics. But one of the benefits of giving introductory remarks is that one can introduce a topic by painting only in bold strokes, and with a broad brush. And then, as one of our broad-brush-strokes-kind of presidents used to say, one can leave the troublesome details to the fellas. (3) I. HOW DOES MORALITY RELATE TO THE LAW WE HAVE? So the first topic: how is related to morality? …" @default.
