| Summary: | The contemporary legal system, which has prevailed in the Western world since the 19th century, has cemented a discourse and its own way of conceiving the legal sphere. Since the end of the 18th century, legalistic and dogmatic currents have relegated the legal culture of the Ancien Régime, so finely recreated by the jurists of the ius comunne. Thus, that plural and casuistic law was confined to the shelves of libraries and the shelves of archives. Using the language, doctrinal works and documents of that modern era, Víctor Tau Anzoátegui invites us to rediscover the spirit and culture in which a law was forged that was completely different from today's law. The work, divided into three main sections, explores the beliefs, ideas and mentalities of the men who developed Indian Law. To do so, it probes into the complex and varied Spanish-American society in order to unravel the criteria of a system that prevailed beyond the three centuries of Castilian rule. Casuismo y sistema is a key work for understanding a legal culture that is not limited to the laws, but which overflows and permeates an entire judicial culture; it also invites us to delve deeper into extremely topical lines of research that seek to understand the very structures of power. In short, the validity of this book invites us to rethink that nineteenth-century dogmatic redoubt on which the present-day world was attempted to be built. El sistema jurídico contemporáneo, imperante en el mundo occidental desde el siglo XIX, cimentó un discurso y una forma propia de concebir la esfera jurídica. Desde fines del siglo XVIII, las corrientes legalistas y dogmáticas, relegaron la cultura jurídica del Antiguo Régimen tan finamente recreada por los juristas del ius comunne. Así, aquel derecho plural y casuístico fue confinado a los anaqueles de las bibliotecas y las estanterías de los archivos. Utilizando el lenguaje, las obras doctrinales y los documentos propios de aquella época moderna, Víctor Tau Anzoátegui invita a redescubrir el espíritu y la cultura en la cual se forjó un derecho completamente diferente al actual. La obra, dividida en tres grandes bloques, indaga sobre las creencias, las ideas y las mentalidades de aquellos hombres que desarrollaron el Derecho Indiano. Para ello sondea en la compleja y variada sociedad hispanoamericana, a fin de desentrañar los criterios propios de un sistema que imperó más allá de los tres siglos de dominio castellano. Casuismo y sistema es una obra clave para comprender una cultura jurídica que no se agota en las leyes, sino que desborda e impregna toda una cultura judicial; asimismo, invita a profundizar en líneas de investigación de extrema actualidad que buscan conocer las propias estructuras del poder. En suma, la vigencia de este libro nos invita a repensar aquel reducto dogmático decimonónico sobre el que se intentó construir el mundo actual. |
