Traços fenomenológicos no pensamento jurídico de Luís Cabral de Moncada

Abstract

ln this paper I explain the impact of phenomenological philosophy in the conceptions of Luís Cabral de Moncada about law and juridical experience. Stressing that Moncada was the first scholar in Portugal who made an extensive use of phenomenological doctrines within his own field of research, I show that Husserl, Hartmann, and Scheler were the most influential thinkers for him. As a matter of fact, they had a positive impact on Moncada's conceptions about Law, the axiological realm, the State, and jusnaturalism.
