| Sumario: | Abstract:
This article focuses on the use of the term and the concept “natural law theory” in Cristina
Redondo’s book Positivismo jurídico “interno”. The article notes how Redondo’s analysis of
natural law theory is lacking in that the idea she attributes to that theory of reducing legal
norms to moral norms is absent in true “natural law theory”. For this theory there are two ways
of deriving positive law from natural law, which Redondo does not account for. Furthermore,
her understanding ommits the reality that according to natural law theory unjust laws are
laws. Finally, this article tries to show posible ways in which Redondo’s theory may be
compatible with natural law theory. |
