Abstract

In the following paper, I compare Kelsen’s model, according to which positive Law is understood as a system of relative values, with Max Ernst Mayer’s model, in which legal norms must be based on and agree with pre-legal culture norms. I claim that Mayer’s proposition can be understood as a tool that goes beyond Kelsen’s dichotomic scheme, but at the same time, it proves to be insufficient for answering main questions raised by Mayer. Accordingly, I intent to prove that it is necessary to integrate a dialectic character to the dynamic by which the community produces multiple normative sources and to the dynamic by which different norms interact, on pain of not being able to explain the validity of legal and culture norms and the dynamics by which norms derogate each other
