La Facult茅 de droit accueille le professeur , University of Michigan Law School.
搁茅蝉耻尘茅
(en anglais seulement) "For more than forty years, jurisprudence has been dominated by the Hart-Dworkin debate. The terrain of the debate has shifted several times, but it is not hard to say what is in dispute. Hart and his heirs contend that the content of the law鈥攖he set of rights, obligations, privileges, and powers in force in a legal system鈥攊s determined by social facts. Dworkin and his followers counter that moral facts play a part in determining law鈥檚 content. Some find the debate moribund, but the truth is that the last decade of the debate has been as productive as any. Even though most participants defend positions that have been familiar for twenty years or more, the arguments advanced are increasingly sophisticated. They have not resolved the debate, but they have deepened our understanding of it. Still, I am sympathetic to the prescription of those who think the debate stale: We should move on."
