SANCHEZ-MAILLO, CARMEN. ON THE VALUE OF THE LAW. Díkaion [online]. 2010, vol.19, n.2, pp.447-465. ISSN 0120-8942.

Nowadays the prestige of laws is decreasing, due to ideological and partial interests. Looking to the Classics make us remember that it was not like that in the beginning. In the Ancient Age, the law enjoyed a high consideration, unknown for us. Our proposal is to re-state the question about the authentic human good in order to reach the answers given by our Greco Latin tradition.

Keywords : Law; right; strength; natural law; positive law; unjust law; tradition.
