Science of law

The sciences of law are all those disciplines that seek to explain the characteristics of law, understood as a phenomenon that exists beyond its positive dimension, this last object proper to legal dogmatics.

The terms "law sciences" and "law science" should not be confused with very different meanings. The expression "science of law" refers to legal dogmatics, to the exclusion of other perspectives. The expression "sciences of law" refers to the scientific disciplines which have as object of study the law and that are not part of dogmatic.

The idea of ​​law deals with the positum that constitutes an order in force, and intends to carry out a scientific examination of it. The sciences try to explain the history of this order (Roman law, history of law); its function in the society in which it is inserted (sociology of the law) and its problems in a supergrowth level (philosophy of law, theory of law).
