David Hume on Law - Dictionary of Arguments
Deleuze I 35 Law/Hume: law is not a natural principle. This is an artificial rule. Morality is integrated by a political agreement. >Principles/Hume, >Morals/Hume. HumeVsHobbes: VsSocial Contract: the social contract draws a false picture of society, only a negative one. Positive: lust is the driving force of all action. It is in my best interest to leave someone to his or her property, provided he/she does the same for me. Ownership is the essential political phenomenon. --- Rawls I 184 Def Law/observation/order/justice/Hume/Rawls: something, e.g. a social system, is fair, if an ideal impartial observer from outside would judge this from a general point of view, if he had all relevant information about the circumstances.
