Dworkin's critique
Dworkin's critique of legal positivism argues that laws are not just about written rules or authority, but also about moral principles that guide justice. He believes that legal decisions should reflect moral reasoning and ethical standards, ensuring fairness and integrity. Unlike positivists, who see law as separate from morality, Dworkin maintains that judges should interpret laws in a way that aligns with underlying moral principles, making the law just and consistent. His view emphasizes that morality and law are interconnected, and legal interpretation should strive to uphold moral values as part of the law's purpose.
