El sentido del Derecho

Synopsis of El sentido del Derecho

Law is an omnipresent phenomenon in our societies, influencing almost all social relations. This book, 'The Meaning of Law', contributes to the understanding of the legal world by posing and answering fundamental questions: Why does law exist? To what extent does it consist of norms? What is its relationship with morality and power? What is it for and what social functions does it fulfill? How should it be and what values should it serve? How can it be known and how to construct a science of Law? To what extent is it an argumentative activity and how is its interpretation and application? The central idea is that the meaning of Law lies in the aspiration to justice and the fight against injustice.
