Programme

This course, which adopts the approach of conceptual history, seeks to show the value of analysing law as one of the ways in which society expresses its requirement for normativity. Normativity is understood as a plural concept with a comparative dimension. The object is to explore the combination, influence, and competition between legal norms and regulatory criteria produced in other spheres of social life and by the doctrines that belong to those spheres. From this perspective, the encounter between law and religion serves to illustrate the formation and functioning of the principles and norms which structure not only the relations between subjects with respect to one another, but also their relation to earthly and heavenly things. n this regard, the course will focus on two notions that are particularly representative of the encounter between legal categories and categories proper to Christian theology: the deposit of faith and charisma
