Saccenti’s volume belongs to the category of Begriffsgeschichte, the history of concepts, and more particularly to the debate over the existence or nonexistence of a conceptual shift in ius naturale to encompass a subjective notion of natural rights. The author argues that this issue became particularly relevant in mid-twentieth century, first, because of the desire to delimit the totalitarian implications of legal positivism chez Hans Kelsen; second, in response to Lovejoy’s The Great Chain of Being and its progeny; and third, as a result of a revival of neo-Thomistic and neo-scholastic perspectives sometimes labelled “une nouvelle chrétienté.”

A demanda por autonomia e reconhecimento da diversidade ligada aos diferentes grupos étnico-culturais latino-americanos enfrenta grandes obstáculos, não só o liberalismo não pluralista, mas tarnbtm o relativismo absoluto que age, muitas vezes, em nome da própria autonomia. O texto prioriza a crítica ao liberalismo contemporâneo na releitura de Kant feita por John Rawls.Abstract Search for autonomy and diversity recognition regarding different ethniccultural groups in Latin America faces great obstacles, not only through non-pluralistic liberalism but also through absolute relativism, which often acts in name of very autonomy. This work stresses the critics to contemporary liberalism under John Rawls re-reading of Kant.
