8. “The Triangle” Understanding Jurisprudence • -- We’ve just completed the story of the history of the foundations of judging • (teaching philosophy through history) • -- In this story, we encountered three basic “Godfathers” of thought: Natural Law Positivism Skepticism

9. “The Triangle” Understanding Jurisprudence -- We also saw that each of these “Godfathers” had smaller crews or units that were working under them God? Logic? Reason? Tradition? Natural Law Originalism? Analytic? Positivism Inductive? Skepticism Pragmatism “Crits”

10. “The Triangle” Understanding Jurisprudence -- In looking these three “mafia families” (or meta approaches), you will note that they serve 3 basic concerns (“Gods”) … God? Logic? Reason? Tradition? “Ideation” Natural Law Originalism? Analytic? The Words Positivism Inductive? Power Skepticism Pragmatism “Crits”

11. “The Triangle” Understanding Jurisprudence -- One of things that might be helpful is to relate these three basic concerns to the way human existence is structured -- Hence, “the triangle.” God? Logic? Reason? Tradition? “Ideation” Natural Law Originalism? Analytic? The Words Positivism Inductive? Power Skepticism Pragmatism “Crits”
