The course would survey (expeditiously but not superficially) the moral claim that law makes, as well as the nature of the moral inquiry itself. Course materials will consist of a package of readings, about 200 pages or so, to support class discussion and the students' preparation of a brief (5 page) paper. The course will consider the analytical jurisprudence (natural law vs. positivism -- exclusive as well as inclusive) and recent work that has investigated the source of our "moral sense."
