This article discusses the need of recovering the essence of Law as “the art of the good and the equitable” and its reference to the very nature of things as it was featured by Roman jurists. This is because it seems that, when positive legislation is not based on natural law, it easily turns against human nature. The author describes the present situation as a “crisis of Law,” mainly due to the progressive disappearance of the fundamentals of Law, and offers a number of proposals for overcoming the crisis. She also thinks that Law professors should review their teaching in order to transmit to their students both knowledge of positive law and the ability to discover the connection between reality and truth, between justice and being, and between justice and Law.
