Based on the book Ronald Dworkin. Una biografía intelectual, I will sustain the hypothesis that Dworkin is a philosopher of law that should be taken into account, not only for his ideas, as it is typically the case, but also for his way of doing legal philosophy. This article does not focus, therefore, on the specific contents of Dworkin’s legal philosophy, but rather on his views regarding legal philosophy’s transformative role. Indeed, the value of Dworkin’s thought lies in the fact that it intervenes at the core of the debate, setting out basic conceptual and justificatory problems and attacking the dominant thought at a certain moment.
