"The Concept of Law" was written by H.L.A. Hart and published in 1961. It is one of the most influential works in modern legal philosophy and forms the cornerstone of the Analytical School of Jurisprudence. Hart developed the idea of law as a system of "primary rules" (duties) and "secondary rules" (rules about rules, like rules of recognition, change, and adjudication). He distinguished law from morality, but accepted that moral criticism of law is important.
