The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between political realism and legal positivism in Jeremy Waldron's theory. In both cases, there is a refusal of any kind of moral foundation, either of politics or of law. This article aims not only to analyze how the grounding of politics and law takes place in Waldron's work, but also to identify to what extent a realist and positivist theory can maintain as a touchstone of politics and law a value, such as that of reasonable disagreement, which seems to be indispensable to Waldron's theory.
