Many legal philosophers assume that legal non-positivism misconstructs its counterpart, legal positivism; that it destroys law’s positivity by allowing the judges to grab directly into the blue sky of justice; that it disempowers the legislator; that it accepts a bizarre notion of an ideal dimension of the law which is either empty or ideological particularism; that it could not settle the eternal conflict between real and ideal elements; that it transformed a descriptive-analytical debate about what the law is into a normative-political debate about what the law ought to be. The present article unmasks these assumptions as myths.
