La certeza del Derecho. Flavio López de Oñate [Texto en inglés]

Abstract

This is the republication of the translation into Spanish of the classical work by the legal philosopher Flavio López de Oñate, who criticizes government agencies behind which there are legal scholars and intellectuals who believe the State should legislate over a larger and larger number of subjects and realities. López de Oñate’s book is too abstract, and the translation into Spanish of what Piero Calamandrei and López de Oñate himself wrote in Italian does not seem to have been done appropriately. We do not know whether José Luis Monereo revised the translation but there are certain passages which make the book impossible to understand. Interesting reflections upon State Law and Community Law can be found, but they are completely different from similar concepts in Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s The State and Revolution.
