Normative Legal Positivism, Neutrality, and the Rule of Law
2013
Usually, in jurisprudential debates what is discussed under the rubric of ‘neutrality’ is the claim that jurisprudence is (or at least can, and should be) a conceptual, or descriptive - thus, non-normative, or morally neutral - inquiry. I discuss neutrality in an altogether different sense, namely, neutrality as an ethico-political ideal the law should meet. My starting point is normative legal positivism, or the claim that it is a good and desirable thing that the laws have easily identifiable, readily accessible, as far as possible non-controversial social sources. What justifies normative legal positivism, I claim, is the value - or the ideal - of neutrality, suitably understood. I.e., w…
The Holy See's Position on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems
2020
The issue of lethal autonomous weapons systems (laws) goes to the heart of the debate on new warfare technologies: States, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and civil society at large have long been discussing the acceptability of ‘autonomous killing’. The present contribution zooms in on the position held by the Holy See, exploring its content and the main arguments which support the call of a ban on such technology. Both diplomatic statements and doctrinal teachings will be tackled. Importantly, a solid argument for a prohibition of laws is based on the moral unacceptability of autonomous killing, which may assume also a legal standing through the so-called Marte…
Autorità legittima e diritto nel pensiero di Joseph Raz
2004
L’intento si questo saggio è quello di proporre una ricostruzione critica della concezione dell’autorità legittima di Raz, concezione che sta alla base della sua peculiare versione del positivismo giuridico. Si guarderà dunque alla nozione di “autorità legittima” dall’angolo visuale della filosofia e della teoria del diritto: se la concezione raziana dell’autorità legittima è inadeguata (almeno) in relazione al diritto, allora la versione del positivismo giuridico difesa da Raz mancherà di un’adeguata giustificazione.
Zaufanie do prawa jako wartość i jego ochrona w porządku prawnym państwa
2023
The article presents the issue of trust in law as one of the fundamental values of a rule-of-law state. The analysis of the court rulings conducted in the first part of the article indicates the principle of a democratic rule-of-law state as a basis for distinguishing substantive and formal components of trust in law. Further considerations of the article focus on showing the change of law, in particular its transition from repressive law to responsive law, and the possible effects of this change on the paradigm of trust established in a democratic ruleof-law state. The effect of these transformations, as indicated by the considerations presented, affects the perception of the authority of …
Exploring the Role of Informants in Interpretive Case Study Research in IS
2011
Interpretive case study research constitutes an important and increasing part of the information systems (IS) knowledge base (Walsham, 1993; Myers, 1997; Pare and Elam, 1997; Walsham, 2006). Interpretive case studies can be distinguished from positivist case study research (Benbasat et al., 1987; Lee, 1989; Dube and Pare, 2003) by the focus on close interaction between researcher and participants throughout the case study process, viewing the case members as active participants in the construction of the case narrative (Boland, 1985; Guba and Lincoln, 1989; Kvale, 2002). However, while the interpretivist perspective ascribes an active role to the case study informants, in practice the exten…

Norma de reconocimiento, convención y obligación. Aquello che Shapiro todavía puede aprender de los errores de Hart
2019
Shapiro works out a version of legal positivism taking as its starting point Hart’s practice theory of law. Some serious limits of Hart’s practice theory of norms concern the conception of legal obligation and normativity of law. In this paper I analyze the limits of Hart’s conception of legal normativity and I appraise whether the planning theory of law indicates the correct direction for overcoming them. To anticipate the conclusion, my effort is to show that Shapiro replicates Hart’s mistakes on this subject-matters. The paper is divided in three main sections. First, I will present briefly a critical reconstruction of Hart’s conception of normativity, reconstruction which is partially d…
Il positivismo giuridico dopo Herbert L. A. Hart. Un'introduzione critica
2004
Il presente saggio ricostruisceil dibattito, interno al positivismo giuridico di matrice hartiana, sviluppatosi a seguito delle critiche mosse in particolare da Ronald Dworkin a Il concetto di diritto di Herbert Hart. Le due versioni principali del positivismo giuridico post-hartiano – il “positivismo giuridico esclusivo” ed il “positivismo giuridico inclusivo” – non sono in grado di offrire, per ragioni diverse, una soluzione adeguata alla crisi del positivismo giuridico. Da un lato, il positivismo esclusivo, oltre ad essere internamente incoerente, riesce a preservare l’ortodossia del positivismo giuridico tradizionale ad un prezzo troppo alto, cioè quello di semplificare artificialmente,…

La crítica de Adorno al positivismo
2020
Esta investigación tiene por objeto las reflexiones epistemológicas Adorno. El objetivo pasa por analizar la singularidad de su sociología dialéctica puesta en movimiento a partir de la crítica al positivismo. De acuerdo con este objetivo, se desarrolla un plan de lectura de Adorno guiado por la pregunta althusseriana por la construcción de la problemática. La tesis que sostenemos es que la diferencia esencial entre el positivismo y la sociología dialéctico-negativa de Adorno reside en que, mientras que el positivismo sitúa el problema del conocimiento en el terreno epistemológico, Adorno lo hace en el práctico, y esto tiene efectos políticos.
