In the twentieth century, there have been two major approaches to the nature of law. The first and most prominent is legal positivism, which draws a sharp distinction between law as it is and law as it might be or ought to be. The second are theories that view law as embedded in a moral framework. Scott Shapiro is a positivist, but one who tries to bridge the differences between the two approaches. In Legality, he shows how law can be thought of as a set of plans to achieve complex human goals. His new ?planning? theory of law is a way to solve the ?possibility problem?, which is the problem of how law can be authoritative without referring to higher laws. 606 $aJurisprudence 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLegal positivism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJurisprudence. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLegal positivism. 676 $a340/.1 700 $aShapiro$b Scott$0721411 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460185503321 996 $aLegality$91413195 997 $aUNINA
