罗纳德·德沃金((Ronald-Dworkin)是当代美国最著名、最活跃的法理学家之一。他生于1931年,1957年毕业于哈佛大学法学院,毕业后进入美国最高法院任法官汉德(Learned-Hand)的办事员,之后当过律师。纽约大学、康奈尔大学任教。1969年他应邀担任英国牛津大学法理学教授。德沃金认为,权利构成了法律的道德基础,如果政府不能认真对待权利,它也就不认真对待法。在德沃金看来,这种对政府行为的道德要求的要义是平等,亦即政府必须平等地关怀和尊重所有人。
One of the most famous and most active jurisprudence in contemporary America, Ronald-Dworkin was born in 1931 and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1957. After graduation, he entered the United States Supreme Court Judge Learned-Hand clerk, then a lawyer at New York University, Cornell University, where he was invited as a professor of jurisprudence at the University of Oxford in 1969. Dworkin argues that rights constitute the ethical basis of law, If the government can not take the rights seriously, it will not take the law seriously, and in Dworkin’s view, the moral requirement of government behavior is based on equality, that is, the government must care for and respect everyone equally.
