Descrição
Resumo:In Brazilian jurisprudence, Post-Positivism (or Neoconstitutionalism) is a kind of unique discourse. Built on a caricature of its predecessor, Post-Positivism does not offer consistent solutions to the problems of Legal Positivism. In fact, it ends up being a great retrocession to Natural Law, presenting exactly the same problems that Legal Positivism, more than a century ago, struggled to correct. A democratic legal practice does not presuppose “leaving aside” Legal Positivism. It can only be made “from” it.
