La pretensión de corrección del derecho

Is the understanding of a moral value relevant in understanding the law? Robert Alexy's thesis of the claim for correctness of law is one of the paths he established to argue why he believes so. Starting from it, he seeks to show one of the senses in which law is intrinsically linked to a moral value. And how, in this way, accounting for the type of intrinsic link between law and moral is a primary task of legal philosophy. Eugenio Bulygin maintains the opposite thesis. He considers that the moral value that law may or may not have is contextual and contingent. This makes the contextual and contingent links of law with morality exceed the scope of legal philosophy. The debate between Alexy and Bulygin on the claim for correctness of law developed over almost three decades. The first edition of this book from 2001 included the first two rounds of the debate. This second edition includes the last exchange between the authors, plus a preface by Robert Alexy. Thus, valuable material is available for identifying what is at stake in the discussion.
