Scienza giuridica, validità e potere in Alf Ross e Herbert Hart
2019
Quella tra Alf Ross ed Herbert Hart è la storia di un amore non corrisposto. Il primo non si lascia sfuggire alcuna occasione per rimarcare quanto la sua concezione del diritto sia, in definitiva, sovrapponibile a quella del secondo il quale, al contrario, giudica con grande severità, unita ad una punta di sarcasmo, la prospettiva giusfilosofica del primo. Gli amori non corrisposti sono senz’altro più interessanti di quelli corrisposti, i quali rischiano di apparire noiosi. In questo saggio cerco dunque di analizzare le ragioni e i fraintendimenti di questa storia d’amore senza lieto fine. Anticipo subito che, sebbene vi siano stati dei fraintendimenti (soprattutto da parte di Hart),vi sono…
Positivism, Legal Validity, and the Separation of Law and Morals
2014
The essay discusses the import of the separability thesis both for legal positivism and for contemporary legal practice. First, the place of the separability thesis in legal positivism will be explored, distinguishing between “standard positivism” and “post-Hartian positivism.” Then I will consider various kinds of relations between law and morality that are worthy of jurisprudential interest, and explore, from a positivist point of view, what kind of relations between law and morality must be rejected, what kind of such relations should be taken into account, and what kind of such relations are indeed of no import at all. The upshot of this analysis consists in highlighting the distinction…
La norma di riconoscimento come ideologia delle fonti
2015
The essay argues that the rule of recognition, as it has been conceived by H. L. A. Hart, is either a redundant, and hence mostly useless, concept, or it is a concept with limited explanatory potential - in either case, at best a concept whose scope is much narrower, in contemporary legal systems, than the one envisaged by Hart. It will also be argued that the rule of recognition, if subject to a possible (and plausible) reformulation, can nevertheless play a significant, non-redundant role. This, however, will require to assign the rule of recognition a rather different job than the one proposed by Hart, as well as by most post-Hartian positivist literature, namely it will require to locat…
La normatividad nomólogica de Paulson
2017
In some of his recent work Stanley Paulson puts forward a number of important and ambitious exegetical claims about Hans Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law. Some of these claims are not novel in Paulson’s rich Kelsenian corpus. But, taken together, these claims now amount to the main outlines of a fully-fledged interpretation of the theoretical foundations of the Pure Theory of Law. Paulson holds that (1) contrary to what Joseph Raz, Carlos S. Nino and many others have claimed, there is, in the Pure Theory of Law, no “justified normativity” thesis. Kelsenian normativity is, rather, “nomological” normativity. (2) ‘Validity’ is not, in the Pure Theory of Law, a matter of the reasons norm-subjects ma…

El autor se interesa por los logros de su programa de desarrollo técnico legislativa, así como por el alcance de tales planteamientos en términos jurídico-político de contribución a la seguridad jurídica y el fortalecimiento del Estado de…
What Can Plans Do for Legal Theory?
2012
In his book, Legality (2011), Scott Shapiro puts forward what he claims to be "a new, and hopefully better" (better, namely, than the ones given so far) answer to "the overarching question of ‘What is law?’ - The central claim of this new account - the "Planning Thesis" - is that "legal activity is a form of social planning" -. "Legal institutions plan for the communities over which they claim authority, both by telling members what they may or may not do, and by identifying those who are entitled to affect what others may or may not do. Following this claim, legal rules are themselves generalized plans, or planlike norms, issued by those who are authorized to plan for others. And adjudicat…
Farewell to the Rule of Recognition?
2011
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 posthart…
Paulson's Nomological Normativity

¿Hay algo que los planes puedan hacer por la teoría del derecho?
2017
What can plans In his book, Legality (2011), Scott Shapiro puts forward what he claims to be "a new, and hopefully better" (better, namely, than the ones given so far) answer to "the overarching question of ‘What is law?’ - The central claim of this new account - the "Planning Thesis" - is that "legal activity is a form of social planning" -.
