Judd Steiner:
Professor McKinnon, I must agree with Nietzsche. Tribal codes and such do not necessarily apply to the leaders of society. Professor McKinnon:
No. No, Mr. Steiner. I can't see where your friend Nietzsche's theories have any application at all here. Hammurabi, Moses, Solon, Justinian - they were all known as lawgivers. Judd Steiner:
Actually, my question was whether Moses and the others felt that they themselves had to obey those laws. Professor McKinnon:
All men are bound by law, Mr. Steiner. And had Nietzsche been a lawyer instead of a German philosopher, he would have known that, too. Are you going to tell me that Moses felt himself above the laws that he laid down for his own people? Judd Steiner:
Oh, I don't know, sir. He had a motley crew on his hands and he had to get them through the desert somehow
