A Delicada neutralidade em Norberto Bobbio: entre a rigorosa forma e a urgência dos valores

This article examines the delicate notion of neutrality within Norberto Bobbio's legal thought, conceived as a constitutive tension between the demand for methodological rigor and the axiological commitment to democratic values. Proceeding from the theory of norms, the structure of the legal system, and the distinction between methodological and ideological positivism, it advances the thesis that Bobbioan neutrality does not signify value indifference. Rather, it constitutes an epistemological strategy aimed at preserving the autonomy of legal science without, however, obliterating its intrinsic normative dimension. The investigation demonstrates that such neutrality, simultaneously a foundational theoretical contribution and a revelation of the limitations inherent in the separation of science and politics, endures as an indispensable paradigmatic framework for comprehending the epistemological impasses of the contemporary legal theory.
