| Abstract | LIMA, Caio Moysés de. Rights’ Empire: Law and Political Authority in Ronald Dworkin’s Theory. 2011. 184 f. Thesis (Master Degree) – Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas. Departamento de Filosofia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2011. The purpose of this research is to expound the main characteristics of Ronald Dworkin’s theory of fundamental (or moral) rights. Dworkin’s theory is herein considered as a defense of the idea of fundamental rights, as it appears in the United States Constitutional System, against the attacks advanced by the doctrines of utilitarianism and legal positivism. Dworkin’s conception of fundamental rights as reasons of justice (or “principles”) that function as “trumps” against the general utility is contrasted with two defiant theories: John Stuart Mill’s utilitarian conception of moral rights and the positivist “social sources thesis”. The well-known debate between Ronald Dworkin and the legal positivists is approached as a normative dispute concerning the concept of political authority: Dworkin regards fundamental rights as the ultimate source of legal authority, whereas legal positivists argue that one of law’s main functions is precisely to settle people’s rights. |
