Study Notes

Legal Philosophy and Principles Summary

John Rawls in "A Theory of Justice" discusses the reciprocal commitment of law as an instrument for practical implementation of justice, ensuring freedom.
Rawls proposes two principles of justice: equal basic liberties for all and social and economic inequalities to benefit the least advantaged.
Ronald Dworkin's "Sovereign Virtue" emphasizes equality as the foundation of law and the state's responsibility to uphold it through social compensation for justice.
Friedrich Hayek's "The Constitution of Liberty" views law as abstract and general rules, providing certainty and securing freedom under the law.
Hayek argues that law may be set by custom or legislator, and its observance is a free individual decision, superior to pure forms of justice and commands.
The analogy of three builders working on a cathedral is used to illustrate different views of law, including dispute resolution and serving justice.
The text discusses the relationship between law and justice, referencing principles such as good faith, equitable remedies, and unfair terms in contracts.
Radbruch's Formula allows for the exception that justice may prevail over law, especially in cases of resistance against unjust laws, as written by Gustav Radbruch.
The text distinguishes between law in the formal sense (correct procedure) and law in the material sense (legitimate content), as well as different schools of legal thought.
Natural Law proponents include Kant, Rousseau, and Voltaire, emphasizing rights inherent to humans and law's universal and immutable nature.
Positivism, supported by Austin, Hart, and Kelsen, believes law is determined by the legislator, limited to the state's territory, and amenable.
Legal Realism, advocated by Holmes, Llewellyn, and Pound, criticizes formalistic legal deductions and emphasizes law as a product of human action, with judges' importance.

Evolution of Law and Notion of Justice

Law is the science of liberty, with rules becoming more abstract and general as intelligence develops.
Delimitation of individual spheres by abstract rules is a natural process, present in animal societies as well.
Abstract rules determine unconscious habits of animals, leading to unconscious obedience of abstract rules by people.
The difference between law and commands lies in generality and abstractness, with true law having an abstract character.
Laws for intrapersonal relations involve prohibitions that are always negative, and laws are instrumental, serving people's interests.
Freedom under the law is achieved when obeying abstract, general laws not specifically laid down for individuals.
The law is not arbitrary and consists of general rules that apply to everyone equally.
The notion of justice is discussed by various philosophers, including Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Thomas Hobbes, Blaise Pascal, and Immanuel Kant.
Cicero and Augustine emphasize the rational behavior that promotes the community of people and the preservation of community of life.
Thomas Hobbes imagines a state of nature without property, justice, or legislative authority, leading to the creation of the state for justice.
Blaise Pascal emphasizes the link between justice and force, highlighting the need for both for a just society.
Immanuel Kant sees justice as an indispensable value, with the imperative to act only on maxims that could be universal laws.

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and Hayek's view on Law

Aristotle discusses the concept of justice as a complete virtue, encompassing various qualities and forms of wickedness
He argues that justice is the greatest of virtues and encompasses every virtue
Aristotle distinguishes between justice as a part of virtue and a wider sense of injustice
He discusses the distinction between lawful and fair, and unlawful and unfair, in the context of justice and injustice
He outlines different types of justice, including rectificatory justice and distributive justice
Aristotle discusses types of transactions, voluntary and involuntary, and their implications for justice
He introduces the concept of reciprocity and its relationship to justice
The text delves into the idea of proportionate return and the role of money in facilitating just action
Aristotle argues that justice is a kind of mean, relating to an intermediate amount, while injustice relates to extremes
Hayek's perspective on law is presented, emphasizing its abstract and general nature, applicable universally
Law is considered superior to pure forms of justice, setting precise standards and providing legal certainty
Hayek believes judges should only apply the law, not interpret it, to maintain the rule of law and individual freedom
