The Claim to Correctness and Moral Constraints on Law: a Critic to the Separability Thesis

Alejandro Nava Tovar

Resumen


This essay explains the claim to correctness and its moral constraints on law, according to Alexy’s theory of law. In order to explain this, in a first section I expose the concept and normative nature of the claim to correctness in the work of Robert Alexy, while in a second section I present some replies raised both by Eugenio Bulygin and Joseph Raz to this claim. In the third section I connect this claim with the idea of moral constraints on law, and finally, in the fourth section, I expose my remarks to the claim of correctness, which aims to reduce the degree of arbitrariness and injustice in law, but only at some extent.
