legal culture. Ideas and images.
José Ramón Narváez Hernández.
Mexico Editorial Porrua. 2010. 139 pp.
lawyer and university professor José Ramón Narváez Hernández made in this evocative and important book, a concept of legal culture. As novel as thorny issue in the philosophy of law and, moreover, views of jurists and lawyers always have or find an antithesis to every thesis to raise any distinguished colleague or not in our complicated world.
It is certainly a topic for philosophers, in general, and legal philosophers in particular. So, too, for real lawyers, this is for the top lawyers as interested in the rules and the legal process and in the issues and raises substantive about the nature and existence of the profession or professional activity that feeds us. There is therefore a concern for "ordinary" commercial lawyers or codigueros "to satisfy their ego boast when they are foolishly called" operators of law. "
The author is aware of this struggle in our union states that it is a concept done, but a working hypothesis with various methodological positions bent on finding a parameter that allows for both agreements to integrate a community living together of its members. I argue that, without doubt, lead us to believe that at some point, indicate that community sought the necessary guidelines to consecrate both synthesis to the same community as the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving an approved concept of legal culture. Which, obviously, we need to be better and overcome the old and growing crisis in which it is located, since ancient times, lost the right.
CULTURE AND LAW
Narváez Hernández of combining two fundamental concepts and experiences developed in every human society and contemporary culture and law. Both share many common characteristics. The cars, he said that "are social phenomena, are torn between social discovery and the imposition of the real factors of power, between the artificial and natural. However, today the emergence of notions such as "multiculturalism" or "multiculturalism" realize a rapid evolution of the term culture and its adaptation to a more open, flexible, inclusive and purposeful. How has This change in the relations between law and culture? "
Well, José Ramón in his book presents fifteen essays and original images proposing a reflection on what is now legal culture means that, ultimately, participate actively in a coexistence quality human life, that does not sacrifice the plurality or convert their "norms" into instruments of domination. Thus, "says Narvaez," the legal culture is not merely from the legal text, but should look for a series of symbolic elements used to build a community, understand and apply its law. "
To all this, we want to add that Today day and no one has any doubt or dispute that the law is a product of socio-cultural development of peoples, and the high cultural level of humanity began, no doubt, in Mesopotamia, Sumerian civilization which produced the first legal code of natural law Urnamunu kings, Shulgi and Hammurabi (1692 BC) the most complete and perfected only discovered in 1903. From there onwards, the law was "welcome" and distributed by the Hebrews, Phoenicians, Hindus and Greeks. The latter, with the rulers of Athens, Draco and Solon (sixth century BC) produced the iuspostivismo (constitutions), that is, the law created by man for man. Reality that was learned and reflected by the Romans in his famous Law of the Twelve Tables (450 BC). The rest is familiar legal history. AUTHOR
