Filosofia ed educazione giuridica nel Conflitto delle facoltà di Immanuel Kant

Abstract

In Kantian literature, the problem of legal education has remained marginal, because submerged in discussions around the ethical perspective. On the contrary, in the eyes of the Prussian philosopher, a faculty of law focused exclusively on the study of positive law would produce a model of jurist, who certainly knows how to declare quid sit iuris, what belongs to law, but who is then unable to say whether what that law prescribes is also in conformity with reason. The rediscovery of the fundamental principles of Kantian pedagogical thoughtis justified, as well as for purely speculative reasons, also with reference to a recent reform of the Italian educational system, whichhas assigned to philosophy, and specifically to legal philosophers, the task of training future teachers of law at secondary schools.
