On the Hart-Dworkin Debate: An Examination of Legal Positivism

This thesis examines the Hart-Dworkin Debate in the philosophy of law, treating Hart's "The Concept of Law" and Dworkin's responses in "The Model of Rules I" and "The Model of Rules II." Hart espouses a specific version of legal positivism, while Dworkin argues that any sort of positivism is unworkable.
