Problemi consuetudinari. Un confronto critico tra Bobbio, Sacco e Gallo

This paper offers a critical comparison between the theoretical positions of Bobbio, Sacco and Gallo on the subject of custom and customary law. The concept of custom leads to incompatible configurations, that reveal deeper theoretical differences regarding the law itself. The main part of the work is, then, taken up by the internal critical comparison, with some brief notes for reflection. The position of the problem of custom in legal theory affects the discipline’s very assumptions and methods, precisely because of the definitional problems it raises. Hence thestrictly philosophical interest of the research.
