The postscript to The Concept of Law

The postscript to "The Concept of Law" by H.L.A. Hart clarifies that law is not solely composed of rigid rules but also includes a system of social practices and attitudes. It emphasizes that law functions through the recognition and acceptance of rules by society, and that legal systems are dynamic, influenced by history, culture, and social context. Hart highlights the importance of understanding law as a rule-based system rooted in society’s collective behavior, rather than just a set of commands, making law adaptable yet structured.
