History of Canon Law and Legal Culture

A Methodological Approach

Abstract

The present reflections ad­dress the topic of the close connection between the history of canon law and legal culture. Starting from a consoli­dated scientific and academic line which over the years has been able to highlight the formative role of the history of law, and in particular of the history of can­on law, in the context of legal sciences, we intend to point out how this aspect is not only still today completely cen­tral, but it is important to increase and enhance it within the university educa­tional offer, in the courses of study of the law Faculties, to guarantee the jurist a historically based and non-positivist education.
