摘要

Abstract

This study delves into the influence of H.L.A. Hart's legal positivism on Ronald Dworkin's theory of equality. Examining Hart's perspectives on legal rules and judicial roles alongside Dworkin's critique of legal principles and handling of theoretical divergences reveals a profound debate between the scholars. Dworkin's theory transcends Hart's positivism

emphasizing the necessity of grounding legal interpretation in moral principles to ensure justice and equality. The paper also discusses Dworkin's challenges to legal positivism and their impact on modern legal philosophy and practice. Through a thorough analysis of the theoretical dialogue between Hart and Dworkin

this work offers a fresh perspective on understanding legal equality.
