Abstract

The Philosophy of Law has delineated its trajectories through debates concerning the very nature of law and its interactions with other normative systems. This has involved addressing the tensions arising from ontological, epistemological, and ethical aspects (Alexy, 2008) throughout the history
of law. In the ethical dimension, one of these debates focuses on the relationship between law and justice, a tension that has decisively influenced both the concept and practice of law. This is an attempt to delineate a path regarding the state of the problem and to strengthen students’ critical thinking skills and their ability to find a connection between philosophy, law and the paradigm of
justice.
