On the basis of a historical-conceptual approach, the training activity aims to show the usefulness of an analysis that considers law as one of the ways - certainly the most technically refined and therefore hegemonic - through which every society expresses its need for normativity. Normativity is a concept to be understood in the plural and therefore in a comparative dimension, i.e. observed in combination, influence and competition between the legal forms and regulatory criteria that express other sectors of social experience and the doctrines that deal with them. From this point of view, the encounter between law and religion can illustrate the formation and functioning of principles and norms that regulate relations between subjects, but also those with earthly and heavenly things.
