Thus, punishment is not necessary because of this rational foundation of the law, its logical validity: all that is needed is for the offender to grasp this rational foundation and he himself will not break the law as a rational actor. For this reason, therefore, Seecebeesia’s system can be explained as having a deontological basis: the laws of the country are ethical and also universally valid, because they are rational. When evaluating the merits or drawbacks of Seecebeesia’s system, therefore, the fundamental question is whether such a deontological approach to the law is valid. In the following essay, I will provide a critical interpretation of Seecebeesia’s deontological approach to ethics, based on the notion that this deontology fails to accurately account for
