SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Natural Law to Natural Rights to Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Natural Law to Natural Rights to Human Rights\nIn-person event \n**Please note this event date has been moved to one day earlier than originally advertised.** \nNatural law and natural rights are frequently discussed as if they are tightly connected\, and human rights are presented as natural rights in a new label. But the relationship between all three is complicated and in tension. Natural law consists of objective legal principles and rules dictating the right course of action: do good and avoid evil\, do not murder or steal\, honor contracts\, and other binding proscriptions and prescriptions. Natural rights\, in contrast\, are innate subjective rights individuals hold against government and others. This is about individual powers\, entitlements\, and areas of protection from infringement by others: a right to possess property\, to defend one’s life\, to exercise free speech\, to choose one’s religion\, to choose employment and spouses\, and so forth. \nThomas Hobbes drew a clear distinction between the two: “RIGHT consisteth in liberty to do\, or to forbear: whereas LAW\, determineth\, and bindeth to one of them: so that law\, and right\, differ as much\, as obligation and liberty.” Or as John Locke put it\, “for right [jus] consists in the fact that we have a free use of something\, but law [lex] is that which either commands or forbids some action.” A tension arises because natural rights promote freedom while natural law compels conformity. Natural rights and human rights appear obviously connected\, since both espouse rights that attach to humans universally. Yet tension exists because natural rights had expired over a century before “human rights” obtained recognition\, those who recognized human rights did not identify them with natural rights\, and the content of the human rights extend far beyond previously recognized natural rights. Natural law\, natural rights\, and human rights are linked yet distinct. \nAbout the speaker\nBrian Tamanaha is the John S. Lehmann University Professor at Washington University School of Law. A scholar of jurisprudence and law and society\, he has written eleven books\, which have collectively received 6 book awards\, and his work has been translated into a dozen languages. \nWednesday 24 July 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEST – NEW DATE\nVenue: Level 4\, Boardroom\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Julius Stone Address: Law\, Philosophy\, and the Susceptible Skins of Living Beings
DESCRIPTION:Julius Stone Address: Law\, Philosophy\, and the Susceptible Skins of Living Beings\nIn-person event\n  \nCatherine the Great (apparently) wrote to the French philosopher Diderot something along the lines of: “You philosophers are fortunate. You write on paper\, and paper is patient. Unfortunate emperor that I am\, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.” Catherine expressed\, I think\, an important insight\, that is true of the law as well: the law writes on the susceptible skins of living beings. \nThis doesn’t mean\, of course\, that we should not philosophize about the law\, or that we should not take advantage of the benefits of having patient paper to write on. But as we do so\, we should philosophize about the law all the time fully realizing that the law itself does not write on patient paper\, but on the susceptible skins of living beings. This has important implications to how we should – and how we should not – do philosophy of law. This talk elaborates on these implications – both in general\, and using more specific examples. \nAbout the speaker\nProfessor David Enoch \nDavid Enoch is The Professor of the Philosophy of Law at Oxford\, and the Rodney Blackman Chair in the Philosophy of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He works primarily in moral\, political\, and legal philosophy. \nDavid studies law and philosophy at Tel Aviv University\, and then got his PhD in philosophy at NYU (2003). He has published a book defending moral realism (Taking Morality Seriously\, OUP 2011)\, and many papers mostly in moral\, political\, and legal philosophy. \n  \nWednesday 31 July\, 2024\nTime: 6-7.30pm \nVenue: Auditorium 104/105\, Michael Spence Building (F23)\, City Road\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School. \nThe Julius Stone Address is generously sponsored by the Educational Heritage Foundation. It is named to commemorate the life and work of Professor Julius Stone\, Australia’s foremost legal philosopher and for many years Challis Professor of International Law and Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney.
