Resumen:En este articulo se argumenta que la regla de reconocimiento, tal comofuera concebida por Hart, es o bien un concepto redundante —y en consecuenciainutil— o un concepto limitado en su poder explicativo. Encualquier caso, se trata de un concepto cuyo alcance es, frente a los sistemasjuridicos contemporaneos, mucho mas estrecho de lo que Hartpudo imaginar. De igual modo se argumenta que la regla de reconocimiento,en alguna de sus posibles (y plausibles) reformulaciones, puedetener a pesar de todo un papel significativo y no redundante, pero solamentesi se emplea en un sentido radicalmente distinto al que propusoHart o que se propone en buena parte de la literatura positivista posthartiana. Abstract:I will argue that the rule of recognition, as it has been conceived by Hart, iseither a redundant, and hence mostly useless, concept, or a concept withlimited explanatory potential —in either case, at best a concept whosescope is, in contemporary legal systems, much narrower than Hart envisaged. I will also argue that the rule of recognition, in one of its possible(and plausible) reformulations, can nevertheless play a significant, non-redundantrole, but only if employed in a rather different way than the oneproposed by Hart, as well as by much of post-Hartian positivist literature.
