Resumen
Le ley es una especie de “derecho positivo” consistente en su escritura por “una autoridad pública”. La creación de la ley jurídica es simultánea a la creación del Es-tado y anterior a la “ley natural”. En cuanto a sus “partes”, son “dos ideas funda-mentales: el orden social y la fuerza”. El derecho alcanza su plenitud con ella. Las dos ideas fundamentales conciernen al fin, que es la paz, y a la coacción, que es el medio, respectivamente. Ahora bien, entendiendo la “disposición” en que consiste la primera parte de la ley como “fin”, está clarísimo que lo que se pretende al contemplar la “sanción” como un medio para su obtención no representa otra cosa que el concepto necesario para la formulación de la proposición en que consiste la minor. Evidentemente, no se pretende que la ley misma sea un silogismo práctico. Pero entonces, ¿qué se quiere decir al afirmar que ella tiene dos partes, de la que una es el fin y la otra el medio? El siguiente punto al que se refiere Bunge en el mismo apartado concerniente a la “ley” [...] es el término “caracteres”, que en realidad se refiere a sus tres principales atributos, cuando se la califica como “compulsiva, general y estable”. Otra clasificación que se menciona en este apartado es la que distingue a la ley por “sus efectos, su objeto y su duración”. Después de ocuparse del problema de la ley en su aspecto interpretativo, el autor trata de los principios de irretroactividad y retroactividad de la ley, concluyendo que el segundo procede de la ley o de lo dispuesto por el “legislador”.
Law is an area of “positive right”, that has been written by “a public authority”. The creation of juridical law is simultaneous with the creation of the State and prior to “natural law”. As for legal parts of it, there are two fundamental ideas: social order and strength. Law reaches its fullness with it. The two basic ideas concern to its purpose, which is peace, and coercion, which is the medium, respectively. Understanding that the first part of law is the provi-sion intended as its purpose, it is very clear that to consider punishment as a means for obtaining it, represents no other thing but the concept needed to formulate the proposition which the minor consists of. Obvi-ously, it is not intended that law itself is a practical syllogism. But then, what is it meant by saying that has two parts, of which one is the goal and the other the means? The next item referred to by Bunge, in the same paragraph concerning law is the word “characters”, which actually refers to its three main attributes when it is qualified as “compulsory, general and stable”. Another classification that is mentioned in this section is the one that distinguishes law by its “effects, purpose and duration”. After dealing with the problem of law in its interpretative aspect, the author deals with the principles of non-retroactivity and retroactivity of law, concluding that the second comes from law or from what the legislator decides.
