Abstract

The purpose of this jurisprudential study is to clarify the meaning of a normative sentence. Although the work is theoretical and discusses the logical character of a normative sentence, the approach also relies on real data analyzed in my previously published more comprehensive study on 6000 cases.As a practical activity, a legal decision is divided into contributory factors with very little common theoretical basis. All the problems coming up in a legal decision cannot fruitfully be examined within the framework of the same philosophical concept system.I have distinguished between three different groups of questions as separate problems: 1) the ascertainment of the truth in an individual case; 2) the questions connected to interpretation and qualification; and 3) the problems connected to the determination of the consequence. As far as this study is concerned, it is possible to think that the principal questions center around the formulation of either the essential elements (F) or the consequence (G). The differences between these alternatives are probably not great, because the issue is, in any case, how to describe a possible situation in the world.
