PATINO ARANGO, Alejandro. Importance of Philosophical Problems in Hart's Legal Philosophy. Prax. filos. [online]. 2011, n.32, pp. 175-205. ISSN 0120-4688.

In this paper I intend to show how Hart in order to develop his theory of law was influenced by different philosophical problems such as: 1. the importance given to ordinary language, influence he received from both Austin and Wittgenstein II; 2. The notion of Waisman's 'open texture' that Hart applied to the law 3. The notion of social behavior which is governed by rules as conceived by both Searle and Winch.
