• Abstract:

  Montoro explains that “one of the functions of philosophy is precisely to try to answer or clarify the great problems that men pose to themselves in moments of reflection”. Based on these premises, this article approaches the vision of Franco Montoro and the Philosophy of Law in Brazil. in Brazil, which is already happening and resulting in the inclusion of Philosophy of Law as a mandatory subject in all legal courses in Brazil. There is no way to deny or minimize the importance of the Philosophy of Law. It is the one that criticizes, unifies and universalizes the various aspects of the legal phenomenon, also investigating its nature, its justification and its purpose; in short, it is through it that the concept, meaning and purpose of law can be perceived. In this respect, the Philosophy of Law is simply irreplaceable, or more than that, “it is inevitable”.
