The first part of this work consists of a historical introduction to the main subject of discussion, von Wright's theory of a logic of norms. The systematic part takes as its point of departure von Wright's views on a number of normontologic questions. After this introduction to von Wright's philosophy, his ideas about the relationship between D.L. and normontology are illustrated from five points of view. The treatment of the final question is introduced by mentioning two basic conditions for the possibility of D.L.: they appear to be different ones from the conditions of thruth and falsehood wich gave rise to the objection discussed in chapter one. After mentioning these conditions, viz. the possibility of inconsistency and the existence of linguistic concept relations, the logic of logical norms is briefly compared with Gödel's formula G....
