H. L. A. Hart on Legal Positivism - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 595 Legal positivism/Hart/Ladwig: Hart creates a dichotomy of legal rules a) rules of action, b) rules on the creation of rules, which corresponds to the principle of legal positivism: what is right should be answered independently of what it should be. Positivists strive for a characterization of law that does not include or presuppose value judgements.(1) Cf. >Naturalistic fallacy. 1. Hart, H. L. A., Der Begriff des Rechts. Mit einem Postskriptum von 1994 und einem Nachwort von Christoph Möllers, Berlin 2011. Bernd Ladwig, „Ronald Dworkin, Bürgerrechte ernstgenommen“ in: Manfred Brocker (Hg.)
