Liam Murphy, Professeur de philosophie du droit à la New York University Law School, est invité par l’assemblée du Collège de France, sur proposition de la Pr Samantha Besson, à intervenir en anglais sur le thème suivant :
Legal Practice and the Responsibility of Individuals

Veuillez trouver ci-après le résumé de la conférence :
Some legal practices, such as the private law of obligations and property, are justified by the good that general compliance with their rules bring about. It cannot be said, however, that each particular act of compliance by individuals itself contributes to that good outcome. And yet there is clearly an ethical tie between individuals and the rules of the practices. Leaving aside cases where the law simply protects independent moral rights, the same points can be made about compliance with law generally. This lecture explores the question of how we should understand the ethical tie between individuals and legal practices that are justified in terms of the social good produced by general compliance. An imperfect duty of impartial beneficence will play a central role in the account.
