The defining property of those theories which are usually collected under the label “legal positivism” is the thesis that certain social facts form a sufficient condition for the existence of law and legal systems. The acceptance or rejection of this thesis has important consequences, but there are other issues in legal theory which are of equal importance. Thus, the positivism-antipositivism issue is only one possible way of classifying different theories.
