Abstract
This paper concerns the so-called separation of law and morals, and its place in legal theory. The subject is suggested by John Austin's famous remark, "The existence of law is one thing; its merit or demerit is another. I shall refer to such a doctrine as the separation thesis, though one of the aims of this paper is to distinguish different ways in which the separation of law and morals can be conceived.
