In the 20th century, there were three important academic debates
in western legal circles, among which the most famous one was the debate
between Fuller and Hart on the relationship between law and morality. When
the relationship between morality and law becomes entangled, is it law or
morality that is adjusting our society? It is beyond dispute in the west, but back
to our traditional legal culture, seems there is also a kind of legal and moral
entanglements, and the law and the law has certain difference, fuller know
actually if we put the fuller about law and the moral understanding of the
relationship as “the law of morality”, so in traditional Chinese society should be,
by contrast, it should be called “the law of morality”. The purpose of this paper
is to clarify the difference between the moral nature of law and the legal nature
of morality.
