La filosofia “scientifica” di Alf Ross

Demokrati, magt og ret is a collection of articles published by Danish newspapers in a period of just under twenty years, from 1957 to 1974. In all these articles Ross’ “scientific philosophy” is clearly traceable. In this paper I focus on some relevant philosophical and legal-philosophical questions recurring in the articles collected in Demokrati, magt og. I deepen in particular 1) the rejection of metaphysics; 2) the importance of linguistic clarity; 3) the relation between law and power and, finally, 4) the distinction between internal and external aspect of norms.
