Abstract

This note discusses Ansuategui's "Razón y voluntad en el Estado de Derecho: Un enfoque filosófico-jurídico", seeking to retrace the reflection offered in the book while pointing out some of its strong points as well as some of its weak ones. It is argued in particular that while the author proposes giving substance to a constitutionalized law in our constitutional democratic society, doing so will deprive constitutionalism of some of its strengths by downplaying the problem of power.
