En un libro reciente (The Force of Law), el iusfilosofo norteamericano Frederick Schauer intenta justificar un retorno a la version originaria del positivismo juridico, la elaborada por Bentham y Austin, en la que se reduce el derecho a imperativos dotados de la amenaza de una sancion para el caso de incumplimiento. Desde esta perspectiva, critica a Hart y sus discipulos, asi como a los iusnaturalistas, y propone una vision estrictamente positivista-reductivista del derecho, aunque ampliando la nocion de “sancion”. El autor del articulo critica de diversos modos esta propuesta de Schauer, principalmente en razon de su reductivismo.
In a recent book (The Force of Law), Frederick Schauer –American philosopher of law–, tries to justify a return to the original version of positivism in law: the one elaborated by Bentham and Austin, which reduces the law to imperatives with the threaten of a sanction in case of non-compliance. From this point of view, Schauer criticizes Hart and his followers, as well as the natural law thinkers, and proposes a positivist-reducing conception of law, but with a broader conception of “sanction”. The autor of the article criticizes Schauer’s view from many perspectives, mainly because the reductivism found in his ideas.
