Abstract

This paper considers the two claims Schauer introduces in The Force of Law. Firstly, the paper seeks to establish that coercion is (a) generally part of the law; and (b) occasionally may not be. Secondly, I intend to demonstrate that despite the fact that the relationship between rules and facts within a normative system could be necessary, sufficient or desirable, in all cases is a synergetic one: they work better when they work together. Hence, the last section of this paper shows that coercion has philosophical interest in explaining the nature of law and that the question whether it is a necessary or sufficient element can be set aside.

Nächstes Kapitel Does Law Without Force Exist?

Note that I use the term “positive consequence” and not reward since reward may be an example of “positive consequence” but not the only one.

Referred to Rawls’s idea of pluralism as a “permanent feature of a democratic society.” See Rawls (2003), in partic. 84.

In what matters here Rawls says that “[t]here is an identity of interests since social cooperation makes possible a better life for all than any would have if each were to live solely by his own efforts. There is conflict of interests since persons are not indifferent as to how the greater benefits produced by their collaboration are distributed, for in order to pursue their ends they each prefer a larger to a lesser share […]”.

I use the terms “essential” and “necessary” interchangeably here. Following Alexy “[e]ssential or necessary properties of law are those properties without which law would not be law.” (Alexy 2008).

I am not going to discuss here what expressions such as “representative number or percentage” or “sufficient number” mean since they are out of the scope of this paper. For simplicity I follow Philip Pettit—i.e. less than everyone, but likely to be nearly everyone (Pettit 1990).
