RODRIGUEZ MARTINEZ, José Eduardo. SCIENCE AND LAW: FORMS OF SOCIAL DOMINATION?. Novum Jus [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.spe, pp.181-207.  Epub June 12, 2023. ISSN 1692-6013.  https://doi.org/10.14718/novumjus.2021.15.e.6.

These lines are a reflection on the possibilities of scientific knowledge of law in contemporary society. Certainly, the paper suggests some unfinished but controversial hypotheses about the meaning and the social and political function of research in the field of legal science. For this purpose, it is necessary to discern, first, the nature and character of the normative world, that is, the broad and controversial object of law. Second, it is necessary to investigate what role the knowledge of law plays in the production process of the legal field. Third, it is necessary to contextualize the characteristics of the legal research process within the contemporary social organization, understanding that the law-society relationship is redefined by the dynamics of productive social relations we are all witnessing.

Keywords : science; theory of law; cognitive capitalism; legal research.
