¿Una voz que clama en el desierto? Reflexiones críticas sobre el estado del debate académico en la filosofía jurídica hispana

Abstract

Whereas intellectual controversies are needed for the development of new ideas in every academic discipline, there are several barriers which severely hinder them, esp. the establishment of academic oligopoles. A particular field afflicted by that evil is the philosophy of law in Spain, wherein legal positivism enjoys a quasi-monopolistic privilege, seriously thwarting any research which espouses the existence of Natural Law, under any form whatsoever. Any such proposal is destined to be ignored, while such discussions as do in fact exist are just conversations within the same school or among closely related schools of thought.
