About

I am a philosophy professor. These are my video lectures.

Video Description

I am writing a book! If you want to know when it is ready (and maybe win a free copy), submit your email on my website: https://www.jeffreykaplan.org/ I won’t spam you or share your email address with anyone. This is a video lecture about legal positivism (the theory in analytical jurisprudence, which holds that legal facts depend ultimately on social facts alone) and non-cognitivism (the theory in metaethics, which holds that moral judgements are not truth-apt). The work of Joseph Raz and HLA Hart is discussed. This is part of a course on the Philosophy of Law.
