El pragmatismo jurídico de Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. y el Derecho como Sistema Social de Niklas Luhmann: un encuentro histórico

Oliver W. Holmes Jr. and Niklas Luhmann present a relevant theoretical proximity and similarities in their life trajectories. To establish the reasons for not referring to legal pragmatism in the work of the German author and the elements of seemingly so dissociated theoretical perspectives are the object of this research. This proposal aims to promote a historical meeting of two theorists with indisputable importance for the philosophy and juridical sociology of the twentieth century.
