Abstract

From the time when reflexion on moral philosophy started in Greece, especially after all attempts at establishing the foundation of ethics and of legal theory were based on the well-known distinction between law and nature, philosophical thought has been confronted with the important and as yet unresolved task of making clear the difference between theoretical and practical sentences, between "is' and "ought", between facts and norms.
