El objetivo del trabajo es considerar el posible impacto en la ontología jurídica de los descubrimientos en la ciencia cognitiva. Empiezo refutando el argumento de que nuestro esquema conceptual —y por tanto nuestra ontología básica— es a priori en relación con cualquier teoría científica. Luego esbozo una imagen del surgimiento de la cultura, tal como se encuentra en los escenarios evolutivos recientes y las teorías neurocientíficas. En este contexto, sostengo que no hay, y no puede haber, una comprensión correcta de lo que es el derecho, lo que explica por qué es posible desarrollar distintas ontologías jurídicas que sean igualmente aceptables.
The goal of the paper is to consider the possible impact of the discoveries in cognitive science on legal ontology. I begin by rebutting an argument to the effect that our conceptual scheme – and hence our basic ontology – is a priori in relation to any scientific theory. Then I sketch a picture of the emergence of culture as found in the recent evolutionary scenarios and neuroscientific theories. Against this background I argue that there is no – and there cannot be – one correct understanding of what the law is, which explains why it is possible to develop competing, but equally acceptable legal ontologies.
