Abstract

The aim of this book is to show that law should be grounded on a metaphysical conception of human personality. Without this foundation, the whole field of law would regress to naturalistic limitations or to neo-positivist determinations. One of the main chapters is intended to show that "naturalistic fallacy" does not lead to the understanding of the concept of person. Even Rawls and Habermas limit their field to an ethics of mutual agreement which falls back into utilitarianism, because of its lack of an absolute ground.
