Sapere aude. Homenaje a Jürgen Habermas
Sobre la identidad constitucional en la Unión Europea. Cinco decisiones
El artículo examina críticamente la cuestión de la “identidad constitucional” en la Unión Europea mediante un enfoque metodológico articulado en cinco decisiones, que permite llegar a algunas conclusiones sustanciales sobre qué es y qué debería ser la “identidad constitucional” en la práctica jurídica de los tribunales europeos. El Derecho europeo es una criatura peculiar, ya que es producto tanto de la jurisprudencia como de la doctrina. Su natu…
The Law for Itself
The paper focuses on and criticizes the jurisprudential approaches of the last twenty years, paying particular attention to the Anglo-Saxon recent trend and the essentialist turn in jurisprudence. Against the direction opened up by Hart, Dworkin and Rawls, contemporary jurisprudence has resumed to reduce law to its imperative and coercive dimension, and legal philosophy to a discipline fundamentally devoid of any practical relevance, including le…

The Quest for Rights

It is a case, Jarndice versus Jarndice , brought before the Court of Chancery, the « equity » jurisdiction, in the first half of the Nineteenth century, when the Chancery court distinguished itself for the dilatory and heavy procedure of it sessions. The story is a dark one, indulging in the descr…
Hannah Arendt and the Concept of Law. Against the Tradition
A permanent approach to what law is has been that of interpreting it in terms of repression or reduction of chances or courses of conduct. This approach, however, is not able to render justice to fundamental moments of the legal practice, beginning with constitutional law and its empowering rules. Nonetheless, the mainstream in the philosophy of law and in the legal theory has not at all been worried about this strange inadequacy of imperativism …
Frei sein
This is an attempt to conceptualize freedom beyond the now traditional opposition beetween a negative and a positive notion. To this purpose several weaknesses of the idea of negative freedom are pointed out and taken into account, while positive freedom is reinterpreted in terms of a social capacity, without reference however to romantic self-affirmation. Freeedom is thus seen connected with the question of power and authority, whose main theori…
