这本书关注的是法律的本质及其与道德的关系，重点是公民对其国家法律的适当道德态度。作者首先对合法权威的概念进行了新的分析，然后对法律实证主义者的法律研究方法进行了详细的解释。在这个框架内，作者考察了法律分析通常被认为充满道德价值的几个领域，即法律的社会功能、法治的理想和法院的作用。这本书的最后一部分专门讨论了一些关键的实质性问题。作者认为没有遵守法律的义务。他对尊重法律进行了新的分析，强调其道德重要性。作者坚持认为，在一个自由的国家里没有公民不服从的权利（尽管公民不服从的行为即使在这样的国家里偶尔也可能是正当的），他主张在某些地区有良心反对的权利。
This book is concerned with the nature of law and its relation to morality, concentrating on the proper moral attitude of a citizen towards the law of his country. The author begins by presenting a new analysis of the concept of legitimate authority and then gives a detailed explanation of the legal positivist's approach to law. Within this framework the author examines several areas where legal analysis is often thought to be impregnated with moral values, namely the social functions of law, the ideals of the rule of law, and the role of the courts. The last part of the book is devoted to some key substantive problems. The author argues that there is no obligation to obey the law. He provides a new analysis of respect for law, emphasizing its moral importance. The author maintains there is no right to civil disobedience in a liberal state (though actos of civil disobedience may occasionally be justified even in such a state) and he argues for a right of conscientious objection in certain areas.
