Critique of the Main Legal Ontologies from a Analogical-Iconic Hermeneutics

Abstract

Taking as a hermeneutic starting point Martin Heidegger called the Oblivion of the Being, in the context of his ambitious critique of western metaphysics as Ontotheology, the article makes an analogical-iconics Hermeneutics (according to the model postulated by the Mexican philosopher Mauricio Beuchot) that applied to Law, seeks to respect the ontological difference, appealing to analogicity and to the iconicity as ontological properties of the legal Being. With this intention, the author carries out a critique of the main legal Ontologies (Iusnaturalisms, legal Positivisms and legal Antiformalisms), with the aim of articulating certain bases that enables an analogical-iconic Ontology of the Law to be developed.
