    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; recognition; Pure Theory; presupposition; precedence; norm hierarchy; norm conflict; membership; legal ‘ought’ ; Grundnorm; direct applicability; Basic norm; bindingness; validity.; Philosophy of law; theory of law; Rättsfilosofi; rättsteori;

    Abstract : The treatise is concerned with the source-—the “Grund”--of the bindingness of law. I contend, first, that the “presupposition” of the basic norm, on a certain reading of Kelsen’s doctrine, can be understood as constituting a normative source of positive law, and, secondly, that this reading of Kelsen admits of addressing the issue of the (formal) legitimacy of supra-national and “directly applicable” rules and other norms.
