Il progetto dell'Enlightenment Rule of Law e l'evoluzione del diritto
2019
The article examines Celano's conception of the Rule of Law in order to underline its limits. It identifies the main reason for its limits in the use of the methodology of analytical jurisprudence, that is not able to look at the law as it is: a differentiated phenomenon. The article proposes to look at contemporary law and to rethink the idea of the rule of law accordingly.
¿Actos preparatorios o pre-crímenes? ¿Penas o pre-castigos? Aproximación al fundamento de la criminalización de la preparación delictiva
2018
Este trabajo se orienta a mostrar que buena parte de los tipos preparatorios vigentes constituyen manifestaciones de un Derecho penal de autor y a llamar la atención sobre los serios peligros que ello implica desde la perspectiva de los principios dimanantes de un Estado democrático de Derecho. A tal efecto, se parte principalmente del ejemplo del derecho positivo español pero se alude también a la experiencia angloamericana, que refleja de manera particularmente expresiva la evolución del Derecho penal contemporáneo hacia un modelo puramente preventivo y de la peligrosidad, y se examina asimismo la regulación italiana como exponente de dicho paradigma. En la última parte del estudio se exp…
Normative Legal Positivism, Neutrality, and the Rule of Law
2013
Usually, in jurisprudential debates what is discussed under the rubric of ‘neutrality’ is the claim that jurisprudence is (or at least can, and should be) a conceptual, or descriptive - thus, non-normative, or morally neutral - inquiry. I discuss neutrality in an altogether different sense, namely, neutrality as an ethico-political ideal the law should meet. My starting point is normative legal positivism, or the claim that it is a good and desirable thing that the laws have easily identifiable, readily accessible, as far as possible non-controversial social sources. What justifies normative legal positivism, I claim, is the value - or the ideal - of neutrality, suitably understood. I.e., w…
Virtù e professioni giuridiche: i limiti della deontologia
2022
After analyzing some Italian recent trends on the ethics of legal professions, and comparing this debate with the discussion abroad, it is introduced the difference between deontology and ethics of legal professions, and pros and cons of the approach of virtue ethics are pondered. In the final part, the legal virtues are linked to the virtue of law, the rule of law, in order to show that the success of law as a practice depends also on virtues of legal practitioners.
Zaufanie do prawa jako wartość i jego ochrona w porządku prawnym państwa
2023
The article presents the issue of trust in law as one of the fundamental values of a rule-of-law state. The analysis of the court rulings conducted in the first part of the article indicates the principle of a democratic rule-of-law state as a basis for distinguishing substantive and formal components of trust in law. Further considerations of the article focus on showing the change of law, in particular its transition from repressive law to responsive law, and the possible effects of this change on the paradigm of trust established in a democratic ruleof-law state. The effect of these transformations, as indicated by the considerations presented, affects the perception of the authority of …
La teoria del diritto come pratica sociale e la coercizione
2020
Poiche non si puo trattare del posto che la coercizione ha nel concetto di diritto senza far riferimento ad una specifica teoria del diritto, il paper ricostruisce le linee generali della teoria del diritto come pratica sociale, focalizzando in particolare l’obiettivo del diritto di custodire l’agency dei consociati per contrastare l’uso arbitrario del potere. Nella seconda parte si affronta dal punto di vista del diritto come pratica sociale il tema generale della coercizione giuridica e ci si chiede soprattutto se l’uso giuridico della forza non sia anch’esso nella sostanza una forma di potere che contraddice il fine generale della custodia dell’agency.
Il futuro del costituzionalismo (se il costituzionalismo ha un futuro)
2022
Il costituzionalismo è in crisi? Se con questa ci riferiamo soltanto a un discorso giuridico improntato al linguaggio dei diritti e a un certo assetto tra poteri che valorizza il potere giudiziario a discapito del legislativo e dell’esecutivo, allora non si può che rispondere negativamente. Se invece consideriamo parte integrante del costituzionalismo l’individualismo di matrice illuminista e la convinzione che esista uno zoccolo duro di valori morali universalmente condivisi sui quali edificare un futuro di pace e prosperità dell’umanità, allora è difficile negare la crisi del costituzionalismo. Is constitutionalism in crisis? If by ‘constitutionalism’ we only refer to a legal discourse gr…
El Rule of Law como idea de Sociedad
2020
Como es bien sabido, el rule of law, que hoy atrae una atención renovada, puede observarse desde múltiples puntos de vista, lo cual produce ambigüedad y malentendidos. Parece prometer más de lo que puede cumplir. No me ilusiono con que mis escritos sobre el tema sean útiles para su mejor comprensión y realmente espero que no hayan contribuido en su pequeñez a agitar aún más las aguas. Por esta razón, agregaré otras consideraciones de carácter más general, orientadas a incluir la problemática del rule of law en el contexto más amplio de una concepción del derecho. Si se mira a la distancia, las cosas se ven con menos claridad, pero se ven más y, sobre todo, en su interconexión e interdepende…
La actualidad de la equidad de Aristóteles. Doce tesis antiformalistas sobre el derecho y la función judicial
2014
En este trabajo se propone una lectura de la teoría aristotélica de la equidad desde los presupuestos de un enfoque argumentativo del derecho. Después de ofrecer una contextualización de la filosofía del derecho de Aristóteles en el marco de su filosofía moral (teoría de la virtud) y política (teoría del Estado), se extraen las implicaciones de la equidad para la práctica de la jurisdicción en forma de doce tesis críticas del formalismo jurídico. This paper purports an interpretation of the Aristotelian theory of equity from the point of view of an argumentative approach to law. Once the main ideas of the legal philosophy of Aristotle are framed in the context of his moral and political phi…
La ética profesional y la autonomía de lo jurídico en el derecho del futuro
2019
The aim of this article is to examine how and why – in the current legal context, and because of some relevant changes that are ripening – the legal practice is supported by a solid professional ethics of the legal roles, summed up in the respect of the rule of law. Other elements that in the past seemed crucial to explain the legal order nowadays are inadequate and a legal theory without considering the role of lawyers is incomplete. After indicating the changes in the background, it will follow an analysis of the legal professional ethics and the reasons of its specificity. Against what is supported by the recent literature about eliminativism in legal philosophy, the perspective of profe…
