Abstract

ABSTRAT
This paper explores the intricate relationship between human attachment to the law and the philosophical and sociological dimensions that underlie this complex phenomenon. Drawing from both philosophical theories and sociological perspectives, the study aims to unravel the intricacies of why individuals feel a deep-seated connection to legal frameworks, norms, and systems.From a philosophical standpoint, the paper delves into the foundational theories that have sought to explain the origin and nature of human attachment to the law. Concepts such as natural law, positivism, and legal realism are examined to understand how individuals perceive the law as a moral and social construct. Furthermore, existentialist and deontological perspectives are explored to comprehend the existential and ethical dimensions of human adherence to legal principles. Sociologically, the paper investigates the role of the law in shaping societal norms, values, and behaviors. Analyzing the work of sociological theorists such as Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Erving Goffman, the study examines how legal systems serve as mechanisms for social order, regulation, and the maintenance of collective conscience. Additionally, symbolic interactionism is employed to scrutinize the symbolic meanings attached to legal institutions and their impact on human behavior within societal contexts.The paper also considers the interplay between individual agency and societal structures in shaping human attachment to the law. Through case studies and empirical evidence, it explores how cultural, economic, and political factors influence individuals' perceptions of the law and their level of compliance.
