Abstract
Description
En este escrito se menciona el debate entre Kelsen y Hart en torno a la sanción (castigo) como un elemento estructural o no de la norma jurídica. Se señala que dicho debate refleja, entre otras cosas, los distintos fundamentos filosóficos de ambos autores, la diferencia en torno a la concepción cultural del derecho en Europa continental y en Inglaterra, y la búsqueda de Hart de depurar algunas posturas kelsenianas con el fin de consolidar el positivismo y ubicarlo de mejor manera en el contexto del Common Law.
Además, con base en lo anterior, en este escrito se ratifica que el positivismo, en general, y el pensamiento hartiano, en particular, no están en vía de extinción (que Hart no fue el “último mohicano”), a pesar de lo que suele afirmarse al respecto desde algunas corrientes neoconstitucionalistas y no-positivistas contemporáneas.
This paper mentions the debate between Kelsen and Hart about the sanction (punishment) as a structural element or not of the legal norm. Further, this paper pointed out that this debate reflects, among other things, the different philosophical foundations of both authors, the difference between the cultural conception of law in continental Europe and in England, and it shows that Hart try to purify some of the Kelsenian positions in order to consolidate positivism and to locate it better in the context of the Common Law. Based on the above, this paper affirms that positivism, in general, and Hartian thinking, in particular, are not on the verge of extinction (which Hart was not the “last Mohican”), despite what is usually affirmed in this respect from some contemporary neoconstitutionalist and nonpositivist theories.
