Lex Cast: The Idea of law (Episode 1)
Law is one of those institutions central to the moral, social and even spiritual nature of man, and yet throughout history, some our greatest thinkers and poets have asked, Is law even Necessary?
Enlightened Despot, a jurist extra-ordinaire, looks to the classic text of Dennis Lloyd, "The Idea of Law" for some insights.
Is law a repressive evil, as Plato or Marx thought, or is it a positive social necessity ... as thinkers from Seneca to modern times have contemplated... to counter man's inherent or acquired evil under control?
Today you can ask if we have enough empirically evidence that taking the "lid off" social restraints has proved the pessimists about human nature right.
