  1. Unlocking Legal Validity: Some Remarks on the Artificial Ontology of Law.Paolo Sandro - 2018 - In Anne Mackor, Stephan Kirste, Jaap Hage & Pauline Westerman (eds.), Legal Validity and Soft Law. Cham: Springer Verlag.
    Following Kelsen’s influential theory of law, the concept of validity has been used in the literature to refer to different properties of law (such as existence, membership, bindingness, and more), and so it is inherently ambiguous. More importantly, Kelsen’s equivalence between the existence and the validity of law prevents us from accounting satisfactorily for relevant aspects of our current legal practices, such as the phenomenon of “unlawful law.” This chapter addresses this ambiguity to argue that the most important function of (...)

  • The Aristorcracy of All: Gargarella or the Constitutionalism of Equality.J. J. Moreso - 2017 - Revista Latinoamericana de Filosofía Política 6 (1).
    In this comment to the brilliant book on the Constitutionalism in Latin-America, Gargarella, it is accepted that perhaps is the equality the empty promise among the ideals of constitutionalism in this region of the world. It is also accepted that an important part of the reason for this absence of equality lies in the institutional design, in the engine room of the Constitution, concretely in an hypertrophy of presidentialism. A complementary suggestion is added: the ideal of a constitutional democracy presupposes (...)

  • The Logical Foundation of Fundamental Rights and their Universality.Luca Baccelli - 2011 - Res Publica 17 (4):369-376.
    This paper offers a critical analysis of two central issues in Luigi Ferrajoli’s Principia iuris , and more generally of his theory of rights. One is the way in which ‘expectations’ play a crucial role in his deontic theory by establishing the logical basis for his guarantee-based conception of law and rights. The axiomatic way in which Ferrajoli arrives at his conception of fundamental rights is questioned, for it fails to give a full account of the nature of subjective rights. (...)

  • Sobre el ‘sujeto constituyente’. Breve análisis desde la teoría del derecho.Jorge Baquerizo Minuche - 2022 - Isonomía. Revista de Teoría y Filosofía Del Derecho 56.
    En el presente trabajo se aborda el estudio del concepto de ‘sujeto constituyente’ y, más precisamente, la identificación y análisis de sus tres propiedades definitorias: la propia condición ‘constituyente’ y no ‘constituida’ del sujeto; la no-sujeción a deberes ni a límites jurídicos; y la autoatribución de una competencia normativa ‘originaria’. Partiendo de la premisa de que este concepto mantiene una relación necesaria con el concepto de ‘poder constituyente’, cada una de esas propiedades es estudiada bajo una perspectiva de análisis centrada (...)

  • Crítica al constitucionalismo garantista de Ferrajoli como proyecto político.Albert Noguera Fernández - 2020 - Isonomía. Revista de Teoría y Filosofía Del Derecho 52:114-135.
    Luigi Ferrajoli no presenta su teoría del garantismo, únicamente, como un modelo normativo, sino también como un proyecto político. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar una crítica al constitucionalismo garantista como proyecto político, desarrollando algunas de las limitaciones y problemas que éste presenta para poder conformarse, por sí solo, en un proyecto válido para garantizar dignidad en las sociedades de las próximas décadas. Como señalaremos, en las sociedades de la segunda mitad del siglo XXI, este sólo puede ser un (...)

  • The Normative Paradigm of Constitutional Democracy.Luigi Ferrajoli - 2011 - Res Publica 17 (4):355-367.
    This piece criticizes traditional formal and procedural conceptions of democracy, which fail to account for the development of contemporary constitutional democracy. The latter is characterized by a substantive dimension with respect to the content of the decisions taken through the democratic process. The validity of such decision is conditioned by the respect and actualization of fundamental rights, which are established by the constitution. The limits and constraints established by the constitution require juridical science to play a critical and programmatic role (...)

  • Introduction.Dario Castiglione - 2011 - Res Publica 17 (4):311-315.
    This symposium presents the work of the Italian legal philosopher, Ferrajoli, to the English speaking public. Ferrajoli’s work offers a reflection on law and the constitutional democratic state from a post-positivist perspective, applying the axiomatic method to the theory of law and democracy. Besides his systematic approach, Ferrajoli’s theory is remarkable for a number of original and interesting reflections that he offers on the relationship between normativity and facticity, and on how to reconcile foundamental rights and democracy. In both respects, (...)

  • Reading Principia Iuris.Pietro Costa - 2011 - Res Publica 17 (4):317-325.
    This paper illustrates the main features of Luigi Ferrajoli’s theoretical approach to law, as they are developed in his Principia Juris . These include his opposition to the traditional perspective of natural law; his anti-cognitivist orientation; and, finally, his fundamentally normative approach. Among the numerous problems discussed in Ferrajoli’s compendious book, the paper focuses on his definition of constitutional democracy. In particular, the paper discusses the way in which Ferrajoli defines the complementarity between democracy and rights; Ferrajoli’s own criticism of (...)

    In the best literature on unilateral secession, for instance, Buchanan, it is usual to distinguish between remedial theories, which require a just cause for conceding a right to secession for the inhabitants of a territory, part of a State; and primary theories, plebiscitary theories and adscriptivist or nationalist theories. In accordance to this view, only the first are capable of justifying a unilateral right to secession. Well then, in this paper, an argument is elaborated in order to show that the (...)

  • An Axiomatic Theory of Law.Paolo Sandro - 2011 - Res Publica 17 (4):343-354.
    This paper presents in outline Luigi Ferrajoli’s axiomatic and general theory of law, as developed in his lifelong work Principia Iuris . The first section focuses on the three main aspects of the theory: the methodological, the theoretical and the pragmatic, which respectively represent the theory’s syntax, semantics and its pragmatics. Ferrajoli identifies three deontic gaps of norms: firstly, the one between their validity and efficacy ; secondly, the one between their justice and validity ; and finally, and most importantly, (...)

    Since it has become possible to “read the book of life”, different approaches to the universe, revealed by genetic scientific advances, have come into being. On the one hand, the Human Genome Project has opened the medical field to new treatments – or at least to the hope of new therapies – through, for instance, gene therapy. On the other hand, developments in genetics have allowed reductionism or genetic essentialism to make its way into the public and institutional perception of (...)

  • Ferrajoli’s Argument for Structural Entrenchment.Alessandro Ferrara - 2011 - Res Publica 17 (4):377-383.
    This paper engages with Ferrajoli’s contribution to the philosophical debate on constitutional democracy and in particular his conception of ‘structural entrenchment’, or the basis upon which one can defend the normativity of the Constitution as ‘higher law’, which can trump or limit legislation, without infringing democratic principles. Ferrajoli’s own understanding of ‘structural entrenchment’ is compared to Rawls’s and Dworkin’s arguments in support of it. Ferrajoli’s position is neither grounded on a philosophy of history, as in Rawls, nor on a version (...)

  • Constitutionalism Out of a Positivist Mind Cast: The Garantismo Way. [REVIEW]Pierluigi Chiassoni - 2011 - Res Publica 17 (4):327-342.
    Among contemporary forms of constitutionalism, Luigi Ferrajoli’s Garantismo may be considered as the rather unfashionable attempt to build up a comprehensive and multi-layered theory, which still takes seriously the positivist heritage. This paper offers, in brief outline, a synthetic view of the social setting, the philosophical background, and the basic features of this conception of constitutionalism, when compared with legal positivism and other mainstream forms of (neo)constitutionalism.

    The article presents a vision of the challenges to which contemporary legal positivism has to respond. The constitutionalisation that governs current legal systems offers a new framework in which to develop the classic controversy between positivism and iusnaturalism. This article analyses the different positivist proposals put before the reality of the constitutional state as well as its replies to the criticisms of those who consider it anoutdated theory of little use. Finally, it will also deal with the relationship between positivism (...)
