Document Summary
It"s at 8 anyone still on campus studying? yes in library all night lol. Phil 345 philosophy of law spring semester 2015. Antigone wants to bury her brother polyneices. Creon made it a law to not bury traitors. Antigone believes love and honoring her brother mean more than creon"s decree and sanction (death). Positivists would agree that antigone was wrong, that a law made by a sovereign needs to be obeyed regardless of individual conceptions of morality. Most natural law theorists would believe that the law conflicted with morality and therefore was unjust and didn"t need to be obeyed : lon fuller, the case of the speluncean explorers * Truepenny convicts the men of murder, believes that the executive branch should grant clemency-- Foster believes that if the men are guilty, then the commonwealth is an unjust system and shameful. The men were in a state of nature, the only applicable laws were laws of nature.
