Abstract

Some authors have maintained that if law and moral were connected, then law will be irrelevant as Moral will be enought to regulate social life. This paper will examine this objection against the “conection thesis”. In other words, this paper will study posible answers to the question regarding the practical difference that law provides to Moral. As starting point, It will be taken some written texts of the Argentine philosopher Carlos Nino that deal with this topic.
