AGUERO-SANJUAN, Sebastián. Are Legal Norms Abstract Entities or Objects? Four Clarifications and Their Scopes. Isonomía [online]. 2022, n.57, pp.69-101. Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 1405-0218. https://doi.org/10.5347/isonomia.57/2022.454.
The main part of studies about the ontology of legal norms has opted for understanding them as some type of abstract object or entity. However, beyond the nuances of each conception, a discussion about what it means that legal norms are understood in this way has not been offered yet. This omission could be explained because there is still no theoretical articulation regarding what underlies the concrete/abstract dichotomy in the philosophical debate, but rather different ways of explaining the distinction. Hence, in the interstice between two problems not sufficiently addressed, this paper aims to amend one of these explanatory gaps by contributing to determining whether it is appropriate (or not) to understand legal norms as abstract objects.
