Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses Jerzy Wróblewski's theory of legal interpretation, conceived as a theory of rational interpretative activity. Its aim is to show that this theory consists of two elements. The first element is normative in nature: it comprises a set of common interpretative directives. The second element is theoretical in nature: it consists of propositions about the legal norm and the legal system. A non-formal relationship of presupposition exists between these elements. This relationship is understood as justificatory in nature. In the theory in question, both elements claim universal validity within the limits of a legal culture defined by the notion of a civil law system.
