Born in Harrogate, England, Hart received a first class honours degree in classical studies from New College, Oxford, before qualifying at the English bar. During World War II, Hart served in British intelligence, working with figures such as Alan Turing and Dick White. Following the war, Hart transitioned to academia, becoming Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Oxford in 1952, a position he held until 1969.
In addition to his legal positivism, Hart engaged in important debates on the role of law in society, most famously with Patrick Devlin, Baron Devlin over the enforcement of morality through law, and with his successor at Oxford, Ronald Dworkin, on the nature of legal interpretation. Hart's influence extended beyond his own work, mentoring legal thinkers the likes of Joseph Raz, John Finnis, Ronald Dworkin. Provided by Wikipedia
