FILOSOFÍA ANALÍTICA DEL DERECHO
1. INTRODUCCIÓN A LA FILOSOFÍA DEL DERECHO ANALÍTICO
La filosofía analítica del derecho positivo, tal como yo la veo, se basa en dos
fundamento s principales: uno meta-filo sófico y otro ontológico-jurídico.
(i) El presupuesto meta-filosófico común a la filosofía contemporánea
de orientación empir ista (inaugurada por Got tlob Frege y por Bertrand
Russell) es que la filosofía no es una peculiar forma de conocimiento
del mundo, con su propio método u objeto, sino es, simplemente, el
análi sis lógico del lenguaje.2
Este punto de vista fue expresado de la forma más nítida posible por el
primer Wittgenstein, en el Tractatus Logico-Philosophicu s (1922, 39, 44):

subject-matter. e special sciences are capable of such defi nition: a science is essentially of
something … Philo sophy does not have a specific subject-matter in this sense, and hence it
cannot be enumerated along with the conventionally recognized sciences — just one more
science. If by a ‘subject-matter’ we mean a class of concrete phenomena, then philosophy has
no subject-matter. However, the term ‘subject-matter’ might be used in a broader sense of
‘object of thought’ … In that sense … the subject-matter of philosophy may be defi ned as the
concepts, methods and presuppositions to be found in any science’
