In legal practise it is not clear what is the meaning of the expression “general clause”. It
seems possibile to find a strong core of meaning referring to the presence of evaluative terms.
This way of bounding the notion at issue is very profitable to understand many concepts related
to general clause and involved in the practice of legal dogmatics like “evaluative integration”.
To reach the aim is necessary to spend some words about some concepts belonging
to philosophy of language and moral philosophy.
