Naturalismo jurídico, positivismo jurídico e realismo jurídico: antagonismos e aproximações; isolacionismo e complementaridade

Abstract

The terms that define this article’s title allow to anticipate, albeit in a per-functory way, what it’s body proposes to demonstrate: reductionist theories, expressed through its most representative historical dimensions — Natural Law, Legal Positivism and Legal Realism doctrines — with its distinct and to an extent antagonistic conceptions — ideal, formal and social — and inspirations — ideal of justice, legal system and social reali-ty —, contribute, in the light of a dialectical complementarity movement, to interrelation by the common purpose of an objective conection between means and ends, between reality and the idea of justice.
