OST, François. El duodécimo camello, o la economía de la justicia. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2013, n.7, pp.185-215. ISSN 2448-7937.

The twelfth camel is a metaphor that has been used by authors such as Niklas Luhmann and Günter Teubner to demonstrate a version of the rationality of modern law. In this paper, François Ost exposes his own thoughts on the metaphor, and tries to go beyond paradoxes by providing twelve original readings, which in turn, give valuable insights for current debates about rationality, function and identity of legal systems. In sum, this paper is definitively an invitation to think about the creativity that law requires for reaching social justice.
