It seems to me not implausible to hold that, in respect of one or another version of conceptual priority, the legal concept of right is prior to the moral concept of right: the moral concept is only understandable by reference to, and perhaps is even explicitly definable in terms of, the legal concept. But if that is so, we are perhaps not debarred from regarding the moral concept as valua-tionally prior to the legal concept; the range of application of the legal concept ought to be always determined by criteria which are couched in terms of the moral concept.
