description

The essay discusses three key-concepts in Luigi Ferrajoli’s legal philosophy; these concepts are: constitution, legal positivism, and democracy. Ferrajoli articulates these concepts in an interestingly original way and, in his latest book La democrazia attraverso i diritti, also stresses their interconnection. The essay critically assesses Ferrajoli’s use of these concepts, and in the process also highlights some problems with Ferrajoli’s “formal” definition of fundamental rights.
