Post-positivism presents a materialist, holist, monist, cognitivist theory of law and justice. It argues that positivism and natural law are complementary and that the normative syllogism can be logically valid if its implicit presumptions are rendered explicit and its normative statements are recast as logical conditionals. Laws are logical conditionals. Logic has two branches, theoretical rationality and practical reasoning. Binary logic is inadequate to accurately describe law as seen in several logical paradoxes that are avoided by using multivariate logic.
