A LEGAL CRITICISM AND THE DISPUTE FOR SCIENCE

Abstract

Abstract: This paper explores Correas' position in relation to legal science, takes up his categories to think about the complexity and political nature of building an integral knowledge of the legal phenomenon in capitalist societies and proposes some lines of research that would allow us to continue deepening Latin American legal criticism. It is divided into four sections: the first analyzes how juridical critique criticizes bourgeois legal science and what perspective it raises for juridical knowledge. In the second, the complexity that exists in analyzing the link between legal and social relations. In the third, the way in which the relationship between law, power and hegemony is a factor for legal knowledge. Finally, in the fourth, concepts such as reconfiguration of capital, unequal and combined rule of law, and law in dependent conditions can be lines for the continuation and deepening of legal criticism.
