RESUMO

The problem confronted in this work is that of the possibility of application of justice in face of the recognition of the structurally indeterminate character of the modern law, having in sight the exhaustion of the explaining force of the positivist theories. Challenging both the irrational belief that rationally elaborated legal texts could reduce the complexity of the interpretative task and the decisionist skepticism, Ronald Dworkin aims at rescuing the belief in the normative force of rights, turning upside down the epistemic pureness intended by the positivism and restoring the plausibility of the concept of justice in post-metaphysical and post-conventional terms, defending that the attitude to be adopted by those who apply the law must be that of searching the one right answer required by the legal system in its integrity. The reflective rescue of the normative content of the modernity and the proper idea of reason is considered essential for the understanding of the role of principles in contemporary legal reasoning, in the legitimate basis of democracy and in the development of reflexive ethics. The theory of Ronald Dworkin will be the conducting wire of the analysis undertaken, for its approach that seeks simultaneously to validate both the claim to justice and to legal certainty. The understanding of the existing tension between basic norms, and the debate with theories that comprehend principles as being essentially incompatible will be of great importance for the conclusions of the work, that it will then try to demonstrate that even in decisions where a balancing of values is explicitly defended, the search for rightness, in the sense described, is present and plays a decisive role in the understanding of the normative requirements of legal principles.
