Abstract
[Machine translation] The volume analyzes Jacques Ellul's philosophy of law, with particular reference to the link between theology and law in some writings of the immediate post-war period, against the background of the question of technique (the link between technique and the myth of creation). The traditional Catholic naturalist approach is thus superimposed on the problem of the institution in its relationship with Revelation as a form of God's justice, with reference to specific biblical texts (Apocalypse, Gospel of Luke). Starting from this approach, through the configuration of the problematic link between belief and knowledge, the recent Catholic theory of the phenomenology of Jesus is analyzed, in order to reopen the debate surrounding the notion of justice in a sense that is not merely legal, but linked to a theory of the foundation linked to the institutional action of man. The legal debate of the second half of the last century on the notion of institution is therefore read critically and accused of an implicit anthropological reductionism, considered to be transcended.
