Question

According to the theory of ‘social utilitarianism’ as propounded by Ihering:

Option A: greatest number of people should get greatest pleasure

Option B: the essential body of legal rules is always based upon the social “facts” of law

Option C: a balance is to be struck between the competing interests in society

Option D: law is a means to social ends

Correct Answer

Option: d

Explanation

Rudolf Von Ihering was a German jurist. He is known as the ‘father of Modern Sociological Jurisprudence. He takes law as a means to an end’. The end of law is to serve purpose. This purpose is not individual but social purpose. When individual purpose comes in conflict with social purpose, the duty of the State is to protect and further social purpose and to adjust selfish with unselfish purposes and to suppress the former when they clash with the latter. Ihering stressed that law does not exist for the individual as an end in himself, but serves his interest while taking into consideration the good of society. If the society is happy, so will be the individual.
