On the Descriptive Level of Interpretation of a Legal Text

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is the analysis of Ryszard Sarkowicz’s theory of levels of interpretation of a legal text. This theory, on the one hand, is aptly indicated as one of the most original and valuable achievements of Polish theory of law, and, on the other hand – a bit paradoxically – it is extremely rarely discussed. In my article I show one element of tension that you can see in the description of what R. Sarkowicz calls the descriptive level of interpretation. It seems that sometimes this level is associated only with the external perspective, and other times with external and internal ones. In the following subsections, I present arguments for the second of these solutions. At the end of the article I show a consequence of this choice. It consists in transformation of the concept by distinguishing an additional level of interpretation – descriptive one in the internal point of view.
