«Derecha e izquierda» is Norberto Bobbio's political philosophy essay, published by Taurus in hardback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Against the idea that left and right have ceased to mean anything, Norberto Bobbio argues that the distinction remains useful. The author analyses the objections of those who consider it obsolete and proposes understanding both poles according to their relation to equality, a criterion that allows differentiating them without fixing them in an eternal content.
Subtitle: «Razones y significados de una distinción política». Translation by Alessandra Picone. The Italian original, «Destra e sinistra», appeared in 1994; the Spanish Taurus edition is from 1995.
Useful for readers of political philosophy and political theory who want to delve into the debate between left and right.

Bobbio was a social liberal in the tradition of Piero Gobetti, Carlo Rosselli, Guido Calogero, and Aldo Capitini. He was also strongly influenced by Hans Kelsen and Vilfredo Pareto. He was considered one of the greatest Italian intellectuals of the 20th century.
