Descriptive Theory of Law

In Chapter 9 it is suggested that the descriptions of law encountered in part one is connected with the modernist approach by an ambition to describe law without sufficient arguments for the suggested description. Based on this connection the mistakes attributed to the theories in part one can be seen as a result of a misguiding modernist approach. It is suggested that conclusive support for the descriptive ambition cannot be derived from faith in the modernist approach in reasoning since that approach can be questioned. It is argued that we need other support for the ambition to describe. It is furthermore investigated what reasons can be given in support of the ambition to describe law.
