Jurisprudência especial e teorias normativas: uma diferenciação entre teorias avaliativas e prescritivas

Conteúdo do artigo principal

Leandro Martins Zanitelli

Resumo

Este artigo procura chamar a atenção sobre a distinção entre teorias avaliativas e teorias prescritivas em relação a um ramo específico do direito, uma distinção que uma classificação recente não faz. A diferença entre teorias avaliativas e prescritivas é relevante, pois apenas estas últimas estão sujeitas à “restrição de viabilidade” ou ao princípio de que “o que deve implicar o que poder”. Além de demonstrar a importância de distinguir entre esses dois tipos de teorias, o artigo discute certas implicações da restrição de viabilidade para as teorias prescritivas relativas aos ramos do direito.
