This paper discusses its object approaching the existence of criticism that makes to normative legal positivism as to its lack of commitments to values arising from the current social-liberal democracies, and also the very posture of indifference displayed by the Pure Theory of Law as the ideological content of the law and legal systems. This all takes place from a position of supposed neutrality of Legal Positivism. Considered this, the paper investigates what is the ideological commitment of positivism normative and its ability to respond adequately to the criticisms that are made.
