Sartorius contends that Hart surely is aware of the inadequacy of defining law and morals in formal terms. The two minimum conditions for the existence of a legal system, Sartorius struggles, are relevant neither to Hart’s concept of a legal system nor to his concept of law: If

    This paper will examine both H.L.A Hart and Ronald Dworkin’s position in the theories of law and will try to determine who has won the ‘famous’ debate between the two. Having considered both sides of the argument, I would have to say that Ronald Dworkin’s argument was better than H.L.A Hart’s argument. In applying both Dworkin and Hart’s theories of law, they come to very different conclusions in regards to the case of Riggs v. Palmer. According to Dworkin’s theory of law, judges do not solely

    Of Courage           In The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane the main character, Henry Fleming, thought he understood the war between the North and the South.  However, his understanding came “from his knowledge of fairy tales and mythology”(Gibson 21).  Henry thought that he was like the heroes that he read about in these stories.  He soon learned that real war was very different from his imaginative expectations.  Crane took Henry’s fantasies and contrasted them with the realities of

    obscene Bowery, they corrupt the core purpose of it. They do not see that it is impossible to tie such a white and pure idea to a place so iniquitous and scarred. When they try to tie this knot, they unveil the hypocrisy in their actions and words.
