This book intertwines two major themes in contemporary legal theory – the concepts of human dignity and the problem of the autonomy and limits of the law – while also addressing two other key aspects – the first one concerned with human rights practices and foundations (in their direct connections with the issue of dignity), the second one considering the role that the law’s aspirations attribute to the experience of an autonomous subject-person (and the demands that identify his/her position in the dialectical counterpoint with the rethinking of a community). The diversity of perspectives that each of these themes allows is explored in various contexts and with unmistakable implications concerning juridical validity, rule of law practices, pluralism, political and practical-cultural challenges, and divisive “bio-ethical” issues. This means considering the separation or separability theses between law and morality and the juridically relevant experience of person(hood) as a dialectic between autonomy and responsibility, the orthodox and heterodox images of comparable concreteness and incomparable singularity, the challenges of external points of view and interdisciplinary approaches.

Esta obra traz consigo um conjunto de ensaios que procuram conjugar, em torno da problemática d’“A Culpa e o Tempo” perspectivas de Direito Penal e de Filosofia do Direito, que não apenas se cruzam entre si, como cruzam diversas latitudes e longitudes, permitindo uma reflexão multidisciplinar.Organizada em torno de cinco nódulos problemáticos – Culpa, historicidade constitutiva e sentidos prático-culturais/ O princípio nullum crimen sine culpa e o problema da autonomia do Direito/ O princípio nullum crimen sine culpa e o problema filosófico e dogmático dos fins das penas/ O princípio nullum crimen sine culpa no contexto da doutrina geral da infração penal / O tempo e a culpa experimentados em problemas dogmaticamente específicos – a obra constitui tributo de um pensamento jus-filosófico e dogmático, pretendendo afirmar-se como pedra angular na exploração de um tema intemporal.
