SALDANA SERRANO, Javier. ¿Natural or Moral Law? Critical Comments to Rodolfo Vigo’s Law and Morality (Practical Reason): Connections in Times of the Constitucional Rule of Law. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2021, n.15, pp.97-146.  Epub May 31, 2022. ISSN 2448-7937.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487937e.2021.15.16120.

The article critically analyzes the proposal put forward by Rodolfo Luis Vigo in this issue regarding the nine identifiable connections in the so-called Constitutional Rule of Law. Following this discussion, however, the question arises: How would natural law -and not morality- address philosophical questions in the current constitutional rule of law? Thus, the author seeks to explain how natural law can offer solid answers to the ius-philosophical questions raised in Professor Vigo’s paper, and argues that classical natural law is in a better position to address many of the issues raised by the current philosophy of law and, consequently, it is possible to talk about natural law without resorting to morality.

Keywords : Natural Law; Morality; Validity; Practical Reason; Statutory Law.
