LITERATURE

1. Dr. Dipa Dube, “Some Reflections on Interplay of Law and Morality in


Contemporary India”, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur,
The purpose of this article is twofold: to determine the specific areas of relationship
between law and morality; and to demonstrate (philosophically and pragmatically)
that a complete dichotomy between law and morality is unsound.
2. Wibren Van der Burg, Two Models of Law and Morality,
In this article, author argues that there are two partly incompatible models of law and,
correspondingly, two models of morality. The product model is a static model; law
and morality are primarily regarded as systems of norms, as bodies of rules and
principles which can be formulated as propositions. The practice model concentrates
on the dynamics of law and morality, and identifies law with the practices by which
law or morality as a product is constructed, changed and applied
3. Book: H.L.A Hart, The Concept of Law, Oxford University Press,
It presents Hart's theory of legal positivism—the view that laws are rules made by
humans and that there is no inherent or necessary connection between law
and morality—within the framework of analytic philosophy. Hart sought to provide a
theory of descriptive sociology and analytical jurisprudence.
4. W. Bradley Wendel, “Legal Ethics and the Separation of Law and Morals”, Cornell
Law School research paper series,
This paper explores the jurisprudential question of the relationship between moral
values and legal norms in legal advising and counseling in the context of an analysis
of the so-called torture memos prepared by lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel in
2002. The principal claim of the paper is that the torture memos are morally bankrupt
because they are legally bankrupt.
5. Robin bradly karl: The Deep Structure of Law and Morality
Morality and law share a deep and pervasive structure, an analogue of what Noam
Chomsky calls the deep structure of language. This structure arises not to resolve
linguistic problems of generativity, but rather from the fact that morality and law
engage psychological adaptations with the same natural function: to allow us to
resolve social contract problems flexibly. Drawing on and extending a number of
contemporary insights from evolutionary psychology and evolutionary game theory,
this Article argues that we resolve these problems by employing a particular class of
psychological attitudes, which are neither simply belief-like states nor simply desire-
like states, though they bear affinities to both. The attitudes are obligata.
6. Book: Introduction to Jurisprudence, Dr. Avtar Singh & Dr. Harpreet Kaur, Lexis
Nexis Buttersworth Wadhwa,
It is a study of the principles of law, as jurisprudence, as a subject, is often described.
The book contains all the outstanding features in which this subject is usually cast. It
also carries a separate presentation of schools and theories of law and their critical
examination.

8. John Gardner: Hart on Legality, Justice, and Morality


This article is an  attempt to provide textual support for the view that Hart did find
necessary connections - many of them - between law and morality. The bulk of the
comment is devoted to exploring just one indirect necessary connection between law
and morality that Hart may have noticed in The Concept of Law, viz. the connection
from law to legality, from legality to justice, and from justice to morality.
