Abstract

The work begins, first, with the rebuilding the relationship between law and justice in the european tradition, and then considers the phenomenon of globalization produced by the very impressive progress of the techno-science and its effect on the legal sciences. The Author believes that is highly unlikely that there may be a return to the past. He support the idea of the impossibility of an a realignment between ethics and law. The reference to a common metaphisical point of view doesn't depend, in fact, to an editorial technicality, or still less, to an act of faith. This it was, instead, the mature and conscious fruit of a culture - the Western one - now completely derailed from the tracks followed for more than two thousand years. That context of civilisation is, today, in its final dusk. The main challenge for the law will be the legislation on the origin and the end of life, the regulamentation of the practice of sexuality and marriage and so on. These issues identify, in fact, the areas where the symbolic meanings become most relevant. Here, every man becames a mistery: very different for each of us. The question is, therefore, if it is possible to pass from the domain of the equality in front of the law, to the protection of the diversity that each person represents.
