Analysis of Lectures
- This is an intro where Austin sets out what he will do in each lecture and provides some
definitions
- Laws proper = commands
- Laws improper = not commands
Types of Laws
- 1. The divine laws, or the laws of God: that is to say, the laws which are set by God to
his human creatures
- 2. Positive laws: that is to say which form the appropriate matter of general and
particular jurisprudence
- 3. Positive morality, rules of positive morality, or positive moral rules.
- 4. Laws metaphorical or figurative, or merely metaphorical or figurative

- positive laws are related in the way of resemblance or by analogies to the following
objects:
1.In the way of resemblance, they are related to the laws of God.
2. In the way of resemblance, they are related to those rules of positive morality
(which are laws properly so called)
3. And by a close or strong analogy, they are related to those rules of positive
morality which are laws set by opinion
4. By a remote or slender analogy, they are related to laws metaphorical, or
laws merely metaphorical.
- The principal purpose of the six ensuing lectures, is to distinguish positive laws (the
appropriate matter of jurisprudence) from the others (which they are connected by ties of
resemblance and analogy)
Outline
- Lecture 1: I state the essentials of a law or rule. In other words, I determine the
essence or nature which is common to all laws that are laws properly so called.
- Lecture 2: I briefly determine the characters or marks by which the laws of God are
distinguished from other laws. I divide the laws, and the other commands of the Deity,
into two kinds: the express, and the tacit as well as three hypotheses (the pure
hypothesis or theory of general utility, the pure hypothesis or theory of a moral sense;
thirdly, a hypothesis or theory mixed)
- Lecture 3 and 4: the three hypotheses as in lecture 2
- Lecture 5: I distribute laws or rules under two classes: First, laws properly so called,
with such improper laws as are closely analogous to the proper; secondly, those
