This book offers an introduction to the language of law from the
perspective of logical semantics. As a logical tool, Boguslaw
Wolniewicz's formal ontology of situations is adapted. The central
issue addressed is the meaning of normative statements, primarily
legal norms. The main outcome of the book consists in explications
of several legal notions (including legal events, legal acts and
legal rules) in terms of the formal ontology of situations. In
addition, the book concludes that legal norms are sentences in a
logical sense, so some are true, while others are false, and that
their logical value does not depend on whether or not they were
adopted in the law-making process. Lastly, the book contends that
there are semantic relations between orders that are similar to
entailment, contradiction, opposition, and sub-opposition, despite
the fact that orders are not sentences in a logical sense, i.e.,
they are neither true nor false.The book also presents some
original Wittgenstein-style deontic logics built on the first order
logic. The formal results are applied to selected problems in the
theory of law, including the problem of the possibility of
algorithmic application of legal norms.
