| Secular Humanism: Law |
| Positive Law |
|
In Secular Humanism, the state is given sovereignty – which is entirely rational because there is no higher power to be taken into consideration. Just as man is seen as the final word in ethics, the world state is seen as the only source for legal "truth." The Humanist believes that crime is more the fault of the social order than an inherent flaw in the criminal.
