Así, por una parte, se ofrece una interrogación acerca de la manera en que se practica la teoría del derecho en el mundo anglosajón y en el continental europeo, lo cual conduce a poner en cuestión su pretensión de universalidad. Por otra parte se analiza y discute el estatus y la pertinencia de ciertas teorías del derecho, como la del legal origins theory, que afirman la superioridad del common law sobre el resto de las culturas jurídicas. Se destaca además la necesidad de introducir la dimensión sociológica para la comprensión del fenómeno jurídico.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: Departing from a historical viewpoint, the article provides elements intending to clarify the problems associated to globalization and the confrontation between different legal cultures. Thus, on the one hand, there is an inquiry about the ways of doing legal theory in the Anglo world and in continental Europe, casting doubts on their pretense of universality. On the other hand, the article analyzes and discusses the status and pertinence of several legal theories, such as the legal origins theory, which affirm the superiority of the common law over the rest of legal cultures. The need to adopt a sociological perspective for the understanding of legal phenomena is further underlined.]]></p></abstract>
