Lukács and criticism ontological law

Abstract

The book Lukács and the ontological critique of law, by Vitor Bartoletti Sartori, distinguishes itself from the vast majority of intellectual production dedicated to the analysis of Law because it proposes to bring to the discussion essential elements for an ontological critique of Law in civil-bourgeois society and , from an ontological point of view, criticize the so-called Legal Sciences that often they conceive the legal phenomenon as neutral and autonomous, free from contradictions in the search for the realization of the common good and justice. Already in the introduction of the text, the author directly and provocatively opposes those currents of Legal Science – the dogmatic and the zetetic – which attribute to Law the character of an essential regulator of social life, without which, exercising its ordering function, it cannot there would be effectively possible social relations.
