In a more specific way, the lectures will try to combine a theoretical framework and a strong attention to the practical reality of legal phenomena, doing all the efforts to emphasize the interconnection of the formal rules and the set of human activities.
For this reason, along the course it will important, also with the help of some thinkers now classic, to discover the scientific topics examined in the concrete development of a public discussion that gives food for thought all the time to who is interested in the evolution of law and society.

Syllabus

Then the attention will be focused on Kelsenian perspective and, finally, on Bruno Leoni’s analyses concerning the legal positivism’s thesis.
