Razón técnica y razón práctica en la moral interna del derecho

Abstract

Lon Fuller’s theory concerning the inner morality of law can be understood not only as an expression of technical reason in law, but also as an expression of practical reason. To develop the latter conception, we must recast the formal definition of law in The Morality of Law in teleological terms by drawing on Fuller’s other works. In this reading, law can be viewed as a social practice that protects and promotes individual freedom through rules that limit and channel political power.
