An Analysis on Law Vs. Ethics and Morals in a Changing Society

چکیده
The similarities and differences between ethics, morality and law is complex and a matter of considerable disagreement. Some have argued that law properly targets immoral or unethical conduct. Those who defend the liberal view that law should not be used to prohibit immoral conduct that does not harm others need not be legal positivists. While liberals want to restrict the law from forcing certain moral or religious codes of conduct on citizens, they do support the use of law to impose one particular moral conception that holds that all individuals have liberty interests and rights and that it is wrong to violate these rights by causing harm to others.
