Re: What is Moral Folk Theory?
Why do we need rules imposed from the outside? Who makes the rules then, and how?
I believe that law is necessary because people do not have knowledge of the consequences of their actions. People who are affected negatively by actions drive the creations of laws against such actions.
However this system does not always create valid laws IMO. For instance, police deal with traffic accidents whenever they occur. Because of their constant exposure to a relatively infrequent occurrence, they may drive the creation of laws that cause more harm than good.
