Abstract

Title: Sides and players.

This article deals with the problem of the foundations of the distinction between the lawfulness and the unlawfulness of any act. The point of the text is that no reason genuinely legitimizes a generalized application of such a distinction. Legitimacy is something developed and constructed in players contexts, in which agents use the resources at their disposal to decide whether or not the differentiation required by law applies in cases of their concern. Thus, distinguishing agents manage to avoid being detected as practitioners of something that observers could identify as unlawful. The analysis draws on Niklas Luhmann's theory of social systems and theoretical discussions about play.

Keywords: systems theory; Niklas Luhmann; attribution; play.
