JuRGEN HABERMAS'S DISCURSIVE THEORY OF LAW AS PARADIGM OF THE SCIENCE OF LAW

This article examines J. Habermas' discourse theory of Law from the perspective of legal science. This involves substantiating the epistemological and methodological basis and to test whether the Habermasian proposal could serve as an alternative to existing approaches. Thus, the Theory of Law would be updated and its own scientific statute could be clarified, just at a time when the substantive and teaching aspects for the purpose of adapting the material to the new curriculum have been changed.
