BOTERO-BERNAL, Andrés. Law, System and Reality: is Positivism Escaping from Our Hands?. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2021, n.15, pp.263-306.  Epub 31-Mayo-2022. ISSN 2448-7937.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487937e.2021.15.16124.

This paper aims to explain the most important and most controversial ideas of Ricardo Guibourg’s doctoral thesis, “Derecho, sistema y realidad” (1986). Two additional contributions of Guibourg’s thought will also be discussed: first, the importance of his doctoral thesis in his legal philosophy as a whole and second, the context of intellectual production in Argentine legal philosophy during the last quarter of 20th Century.

A proper understanding of these three aspects (the ideas in the work, author’s legal philosophy and its intellectual context) will emerge from an appropriate and relevant reading (beyond the text itself) of the dissertation entitled “Derecho, sistema y realidad”. This paper is important because it is believed that a respectful and critical reading of the text and its context is key to understand the inevitable crisis of positivism foreseen, among others, by Ricardo Guibourg.

Palabras llave : Guibourg; Law; System; Reality; Efficacy; Positivism; Structuralism; Functionalism.
