La dismisura della giustizia: ripensare i diritti con Simone Weil

[Machine translation]The contribution seeks to transport the theoretical jurist, but also the practical jurist, from the usual context of technical-legal reasoning to the universal dimension of reflection on justice, on the good of humanity and on the unfully realized promise of human rights born after World War II. A reflection that has entirely occupied the last part of Simone Weil's life, who died in 1943 after having contributed to the Gaullist resistance and, above all, after having denounced, with the latest London writings, the profound state of abandonment in which Europe and its institutions found themselves. At the end of the war and of his own life, Weil constantly questions himself, especially in L'Enracinement, about the possible declination of human rights as eternal obligations that bind us to one another, also relocating law, as well as any other expansion of human activities, in the context of a great theory of necessity and of the universal good.
