In the first season of the Undisciplined Reading Series, we read Hans Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law. In this episode, we discuss Chapter 2, "Law and Morals", from that book.
Thanks. What are the scales of justice measuring, a group to individual relation? Let's say there's two main thinking types, a black and white thinker and a pattern seeker. Both are needed since one provides the house for the other to make a home. As the human population grew the groups got bigger, and the efficiency of producing goods tends to lose diversity, which marginalizes the pattern seekers. Black and white thinkers apply their precepts to the country group and so countries against countries is a natural extension. The internet affords the pattern seekers while globalism would thwart them if loss of diversity is a result. Businesses producing goods are the black and white thinkers, while law is the home constructed by the pattern seekers, to avoid the bias of black and white thinking, where efficiency is very compelling and reduces complexity.
