JIMENEZ CANO, Roberto M.. A Defense of (Exclusive) Legal Positivism. Isonomía [online]. 2013, n.39, pp.83-126. ISSN 1405-0218.

This paper attempts a defense of a particular version of exclusive legal positivism as a theory that best describes the law and its references to morality. Although it claims that the sources thesis is the positivist thesis par excellence, the quid of the defense is based on an analysis of the different concepts and types of morality deemed relevant when identifying the law. The possibility of mistakes in the discovery of objective morality leaves open field to understand that the law cannot be determined by anything other than social facts.
