(META)ETYKA A FILOZOFIA PRAWA
Abstract
(META)ETHICS AND LEGAL PHILOSOPHY
In this paper I have focused on methodological problems of ethics and legal
philosophy. My main goal was to determine relation between meta-ethics
and legal philosophy. In the first part I tried to describe historical context,
how jurisprudence become independent form ethics. Then in second part
I examined relations between main disciplines of ethics and legal
philosophy pointing out that although there are some similarities, there is
even more differences. Finally in the third part I explored relation between
meta-ethics and legal philosophy. My conclusion was that the problems of
meta-ethics also exists in legal philosophy but the level of significance is
lower. The reason for it lays in the specific character of legal norms which
existence depends on the will of competent authority in contrast to moral
norms which need other, meta-ethical justification.
