Futbol i filozofia prawa: gra albo kaprys sędziego
Football and Philosophy of Law: The Game or Scorer’s Discretion

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to illustrate the analogy of law and game on the example of selected problems of contemporary theory and philosophy of law. The frames of this text are determined by the metaphor of the game, and in particular by the reference to football, because football has the feature of universality in the modern world. In the context of the relationship between the law and the game, the basic assumptions of the concept of H. L. A. Hart, R. Dworkin, A. Marmor, A. Hutchinson, J. Searle are introduced. Above all, however, the use of the metaphor of the game by H. L. A. Hart in „Concept of Law” is being described. Particular emphasis is placed on discussing the distinction he made between the game according to the rules and the game of „scorer’s discretion”. Considerations regarding this problem are supplemented with examples from the world of football.
