Resumen
Legal positivism and ensuing, mainstream political theory consider the legal and political order as a technique for and an organisation of power.
However, perennial needs arising from human existence in the contemporary condition lead us to reconsider the legal and political order from a classical perspective, as agathophilia, i.e. as having the good as a teleological criterion. This is suggested by various aspects of legal and political practice, and by several authors, if we consider them in a problematic manner. In particular, this need emerges from a critical analysis of legal nihilism, which seems to lead to a kind of udenophilia (a preference for nothingness). This essay explores foundational paths, from a philosophical, legal, and political standpoint.
