Summary/Abstract: The article aims to interpret the standard reading of the normative account of the validity of law, through applying the notion of normativity developed within contemporary metaethics and philosophy of language. An attempt is also made to rectify the arguments used in polemics against the normative accounts of the validity of law, especially the argument of redundancy of iterated legal duties. This is achieved by referring to the observation of the polysemic character of the notion of normativity and also to the understanding of normativity offered by analytical pragmatism. In order to illustrate the results of these deliberations, an example of a comprehensive account of the validity of legal norms set forth by the Poznań-Szczecin school of legal theory will be elucidated.
