It all depends on how the legal components are analysed and presented. It can present that view, if the philosophy of Law is limited to defining the most abstract concepts (justice, society, State, norms), the functions that they fulfil, their legal interpretation and the relationship between law and morality, among other themes. The iusphilosophers, with a more practical perspective, will centre their attention on the real and current expression of these concepts: the Democratic State and the rule of law and the current political class, the relationship between religion and law, pluralist societies, the relationship between law and morality in legal norms and in judicial decisions, overcoming positions of ius-naturalism and positivism, analysing post-positivism and neo-constitutionalism; evaluation of theories of justice utilitarianism, liberalism, egalitarian liberalism and so many others-. We shall try to go beyond the connection between theory and practice in the legal perspective. We avoid falling into the stereotype of the Legal Guidelines for a jurist that merely applies rules. The relationship between Law, Economy and Justice is essential for a satisfactory understanding of the key points with which our graduate students will have to work, in the future. The Philosophy of Law module places special emphasis on the theory of Justice, for which reason it has close links with the economy. Learning outcomes 1. Know the historical and present-day currents on justice 2. Know the essential features of the principal contributions of the iusphilosophers throughout history. 3.
