A obra do professor César Collin Lavalle, resultado de seus trabalhos de investigação, procura mostrar que o ambiente filosófico é o último a sepultar seus cadáveres. Ao reconstruir com seriedade e profundidade o debate Hart-Dworkin, o trabalho coloca em xeque os problemas oriundos da visão lógico-científica que dominou o cenário jurídico da primeira metade do século XX, particularmente com os escritos de Kelsen. Mas não apenas isso: ele renova a esperança de que justiça, direito e moral são uma tríade fundamental para o estabelecimento de uma reflexão sobre os limites da interpretação judicial e do exercício do poder discricionário das autoridades constituídas.
A expansão do Poder Judiciário inaugura uma virada no constitucionalismo contemporâneo, em decorrência da positivação de uma série de princípios na Constituição, que propiciou o fenômeno do alargamento dos espaços de jurisdição. É perceptível o fato de que o Supremo Tribunal Federal vem sendo provocado para decidir questões importantes à sociedade, casos esses que, a rigor, deveriam ser decididos, tradicionalmente, pelo Poder Legislativo. As Constituições são feitas de escolhas relativas, sendo que o constituinte elege aquelas tidas como as mais adequadas para regular a vida em sociedade, o que gera determinadas consequências: temporalidade, subjetividade e relatividade...

Kelsen, Hans. What is Justice? Justice, Law and Politics in the Mirror of Science. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1957. [vi], 397 pp. Reprinted 2000 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-101-1. Cloth. New. $95. * Through the lens of science, Kelsen proposes a dynamic theory of natural law, examines Platonic and Aristotelian doctrines of justice, the idea of justice as found in the holy scriptures, and defines justice as "...that social order under whose protection the search for truth can prosper. 'My' justice, then, is the justice of freedom, the justice of peace, the justice of democracy-the justice of tolerance." (p. 24).
This intriguing study of Mexico's participation in world's fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexico's self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the country's drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair—where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted—with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's ...
