Abstract:
Hart’s criticism of Devlin’s stance on the legal enforcement of morality has
been highly influential in shaping a new liberal sensibility and in paving the way to many
important legal reforms in the UK. After 50 years it is perhaps time to go back to Law,
Liberty and Morality to see it in the perspective of the general evolution of Hart’s thought
since the early 50s. This is a period of extraordinary creativity for the Oxford philosopher,
in which he writes many important contributions to legal, moral and political philosophy.
Prominent among these is ‘Are There Any Natural Rights?’, an article that sets the agenda
for Hart’s subsequent work on liberty, fairness and rights, and provides the philosophical
background for the liberal understanding of the relations between law and morality
defended in Law, Liberty and Morality.
