2008 Hart-Fuller Colloquium
The aim of the colloquium is to not to re-run the famous debate (contained
in HLA Hart’s classic article ‘Positivism and the Separation of
Law and Morals (1958) 71 Harvard LR 607, and LL Fuller’s equally famous
‘Positivism and Fidelity to Law - A Reply to Professor Hart’ (1958)
71 Harvard LR 630). Nor is the intention to confine discussion to the jurisprudential
issues canvassed by Hart and Fuller. Rather the plan is to pick up on strands
in the debate and re-think them in the light of social, political and intellectual
developments in the past 50 years and changed ways of understanding law and
other normative systems. The aim is to look forward rather than backward using
the debate as a point of departure and inspiration.
