ABSTRACT

An interpretive approach claimed by Ronald Dworkin is a crucial key to understand the relation between law and morality. Dworkin has separated ideas of “legal concepts” and “legal conceptions”, according to which law is different from morality. But he also claimed that contents of law and morality actually depend on each other, if one takes an interpretive attitude to consider their differences. And with interpretive attitude and its idea “constructive interpretation”, a better understanding of classical puzzle of “evil law is(not)law ” will be possible for jurisprudence and a better interpretation to particular legal practice will be easier to achieve.
