Description
Summary:In this article I will try to answer some of the comments and criticisms raised by authors who participated in the discussion of my book ‘Internal’ legal positivism. I have grouped the criticisms into six points; the first, on the possibility of an internal legal positivism and the plurality of methodological approaches in relation to law. The second, the ambiguity of the “internal” - “external” distinction. The third, on conventionalism in general and interpretive conventions in particular. The fourth, on natural law and (methodological) anti-positivism. The fifth, on participants and acceptants, cognitivists or non-cognitivists, and the last, on the law as a reason for action.
