Sažetak
Critical examination of Alchourron and Bulygin's set-theoretic definition of normative system shows that deductive closure is not an inevitable property. Following Von Wright's conjecture that axioms of standard deontic logic describe perfection-properties of a norm-set, a translation algorithm from the modal to the set-theoretic language is introduced. The translations reveal that the plausibility of metanormative principles rests on different grounds. Using a methodological approach that distinguishes the actor roles in a norm governed interaction, it has been shown that metanormative principles are directed second-order obligations and, in particular, that the requirement related to deductive closure is directed to the norm- applier role rather than to the norm-giver role. The approach has been applied to the case of pure derogation yielding a new result, namely, that an independence property is a perfection-property of a norm-set in view of possible derogation. This paper in a polemical way touches upon several points raised by Kristan in his recent paper.
