Natural Law: Morality And Obedience

Natural Law: Morality and Obedience This short opus is part of a collection of a larger body of work, which are dedicated to the subject of legal obligation. This particular installment focuses on issues pertaining to natural law. The goal here is to elucidate the intellectual essentiality of citizen obedience. The goal here is to make the case that, while in theory the notion of natural law seems to contradict the concept known as positive law, when it comes to legal obligation (in practice of course), any distinction, if it were to exist at all, is negligible. This text examines the degree to which natural law (as presently understood) could explicate the reason people may feel obligated to obey laws. The book further explores the rationale for legal obedience in terms of morality and reason. It examines popular legal precepts, notably positive law and other doctrines related to natural law. The arguments echoed throughout the text are unique. But it is important to point out that a full appreciation of the notion of Natural Law may require some anterior understanding about the concept of Legal Theory. That being said, the views outlined here juxtapose the author (Ben Wood Johnson, Ph.D.) with the present literary discourse. It must also be noted that this text is not a futile intellectual endeavor. In that spirit, I encourage you to keep a positive outlook as you navigate the manuscript.
