ERRERA, ANDREA. Between Reason and Law: The Role of Logic in Legal Science. From Glossa to Computer. Rev. Derecho Privado [online]. 2020, n.38, pp.17-47. ISSN 0123-4366.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01234366.n38.02.

The present essay aims to demonstrate that legal history is not only useful for the understanding of current law, but is also indispensable for guiding and controlling future developments in the life of law: the innovations that are emerging in recent years in the legal world, in fact, will soon become evident to all jurists, inevitably determining a radical change of the consolidated doctrinal and jurisprudential tradition. This change is linked to the introduction of juridical artificial intelligence (AI), whose gradual application in the field of law will determine a profound transformation, which may be dramatic and even dangerous for legal science, if addressed without the necessary historical awareness.

Keywords : Logic; Legal Science; Syllogism; Artificial Intelligence; Legaltechs.
