How One’s World View Affects the Destiny of A Nation
In this presentation, Professor Wagner looks at law and governance from two different jurisprudential perspectives. The first perspective views law through a traditional Objective Worldview Lens, where humans discover law from an inviolable self-evident standard revealed in Divine/Natural Law. The second perspective views law through a Subjective Worldview Lens, where humans create law utilizing an ever evolving morally relative secular model. What are the implications for good governance under the rule of law if the American Republic shifts its predominant jurisprudential paradigm to reject objective “self evident” truths of the Declaration for a subjective morally relative worldview? Professor Wagner answers this question using powerful examples from legal history.
