Contemporary Non-Positivism

This Element defends and clarifies the thesis that the legality of a system of rules depends on its moral features. Law is an artifact whose existence depends on adequately performing an essentially normative function. Its justification lies in its explanatory power which proves vital for understanding legal language, reasoning, and practice.
