Kramer on Law, Liberty, and Morality by H.L.A. Hart

Matthew Kramer's paper: 'Legal Responses to Consensual Sexuality between Adults: Through and Beyond the Harm Principle'

Abstract:
This paper, written for a forthcoming collection of essays on H.L.A. Hart and responsibility, revisits some of Hart's arguments in his 1963 book "Law, Liberty, and Morality." It seeks to reinforce and extend Hart's liberal positions by offering lines of reasoning that are quite different from his, and by highlighting the inadequacy of John Stuart Mill's harm principle for coming to grips with contemporary issues such as the introduction of same-sex marriage.
