Abstract

The present paper addresses two exchanges between Eugenio Bulygin and Joseph Raz. The first exchange appeared in the book Una discusión sobre la teoría del derecho, in which Bulygin, like Robert Alexy, commented on an article by Raz “Can There Be a Theory of Law?”. The second exchange takes place in Bulygin’s essay,  “Enunciados Jurídicos y Positivismo: Una Respuesta a Joseph Raz” (1981), which was a response to an article by Raz, “The Purity of the Pure Theory,” published in 1981.
