Cambridge Legal Theory Discussion Group (CLTDG): 'Nietzsche and Exclusive Legal Positivism'
Speaker: Robert Craig (Bristol) In an article published in the Notre Dame Law Review (‘On the incoherence of legal positivism’) in 2000, John Finnis explicitly connected exclusive legal positivism to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. “Today the promoters of this radical kind of ‘exclusive positivism’ are the followers, conscious or unconscious, of Nietzsche or of others who like him reduce ethics and normative political or legal theory to a search for the "genealogy," the historical (perhaps partly or wholly physiological) sources of ethical, political, or legal standards.” You can find the links to Robert’s paper and to the meeting below: The Paper: https://bit.ly/cltdg-craig-paper The Zoom link: https://bit.ly/cltdg-easter24-4 Everyone is welcome to attend.
