H. L. A. Hart, or Herbert Lionel Adolphus Hart, was a prominent British legal philosopher and one of the most significant figures in 20th-century legal theory. Born in 1907 and passing away in 1992, Hart is best known for his contributions to legal positivism, a school of thought that asserts the separation of law and morality. Hart's most influential work is "The Concept of Law," published in 1961.
