FOR A HISTORY OF LAW THEORY

This article, drawing on the work of other authors, is a theoretical reflection on the History of Law, its sense, objectives and goals that establish it as an autonomous discipline independent of History and Law. Firstly, we address what each one of these features/aspects means, and then History of Law itself. We expand this reflection to cover some specific points, such as time and space, among others, so as to complete the theoretical and scientific analysis of the subject by offering a better understanding of the task.
