Justice for bricoleurs: Ronald Dworkin and the renewal within tradition from law as literature
Keywords:
Ronald Dworkin, chain novel, law and literatureAbstract
According to Dworkin, law is an interpretive practice, better understood from an analogy with literature. Like a chain novel, in which each author must write a new chapter in order to create the best possible unified novel, so is the judicial practice. Therefore, from the dworkinian conception of law as literature, this essay, under a phenomenlogical "method" approach, seeks to discuss law as integrity and its underlying possibilities of, on the one hand, renewing tradition and the interpretations of legal practice as a democratic practice, and, on the other hand, respecting the legal tradition. After all, tradition can only be itself in a constant becoming another. (Full abstract available in the original text)
