Abstract

The ius commune (civil law and canon law) tradition encompasses the idea of a supralegal law (ius divinum, ius naturale) which determines the validity of the law (lex) and engages human responsibility in its commitment to the common good. Nowadays, the distinction between ius and lex is frequently overlooked or explicitly rejected. So the recovery of an approach that has forged Western legal culture may contribute to the construction of the common good through political dialogue in democratic societies.

La tradición del ius commune civil y canónico ha conservado la idea de una ley supralegal (ius divinum, ius naturale) que es condición de validez de la ley (lex) y compromete la responsabilidad humana en la búsqueda del bien común. En la percepción actual, la distinción entre ius y lex es olvidada con frecuencia, cuando no conscientemente rechazada. Hoy, la recuperación de un enfoque que ha forjado la civilización jurídica occidental puede contribuir a la construcción del bien común a través del diálogo político en las sociedades democráticas.
