COUTINHO, Luís Pereira. Massimo La Torre’s political concept of law: notes on Il diritto contro se stesso: Saggio sul positivismo giuridico e la sua crisi, Firenze, Olschki, 2020. e-Pública [online]. 2020, vol.7, n.2, pp.328-333. ISSN 2183-184X.

At face level, Il diritto contro se stesso is a reconstruction of the fundamental trends of legal theory from the second half of the 20th century. It is that, and magnificently so, but not merely that. Before anything else, it is a reaffirmation of Massimo La Torre’s own concept of law as a permeated by a political philosophy - one I would venture to name a republican political philosophy. This text approaches that concept taking into account other approaches, in particular Ronald Dworkin’s.

Palabras clave : Constitutive concept of law; internal point of view; Massimo La Torre; Ronald Dworkin.
