Nota Sobre Religiosidad Y Democracia [Final Proofs], Antonio-Carlos Pereira-Menaut

Antonio-Carlos Pereira-Menaut

En la discusión religión-democracia- laicismo, diversos autores católicos incurren en algunos errores. Primero, admiten un «meaculpismo » histórico no siempre fundado, y además aceptan la discusión en términos estatistas. Además, incurren en «eurocentrismo ». Finalmente, infravaloran ciertos factores de conflicto: la «vocación de iglesia» del estado, la soberanía, el desplazamiento de la política hacia lo personal, y también la pérdida de vigencia pública sufrida por tres importantes perspectivas: la especificidad de la política, el acuerdo fundamental y la masa jurídica de reglas y principios básicos.

Exploring The Foundations Of Dworkin's Empire: The Discovery Of An Underground Positivist, Brian M. Mccall Dec 2008

Exploring The Foundations Of Dworkin's Empire: The Discovery Of An Underground Positivist, Brian M. Mccall

Brian M McCall

This review essay examines the jurisprudence of Ronald Dworkin as presented in the anthology: Exploring Law's Empire: The Jurisprudence of Ronald Dworkin, edited by Scott Hershovitz. Notwithstanding the influence Dworkin's jurisprudence has had on the reconsideration of moral reasoning within legal reasoning, the essay concludes that at its foundation Dworkin's jurisprudence is based upon Legal Positivist principles. The essay first summarizes the jurisprudence of Dworkin and then contrasts his jurisprudence with traditional Natural Law Legal Theory and finally exposes the Positivist foundations of Dworkin's Legal Empire.
