Summary/Abstract: The investigation of the political theology concept has led inevitably to an interrogation of the fields related to the origins of Law. Within this study we aim to identify the essence of Law principles in direct relationship with the moral judgements which ensure their inner substance. In this sense, the study presents the political morality concept as branch of social philosophy, in the thinking of John Rawls, Ronald Myles Dworkin and Amartya Sen, who marked the development of this field in the XXth century. What brings together these authors is their preoccupation for the foundation of law principles in the sense of reflective equilibrium, starting from the distributive justice of Rawls, and ending with the plurality of social universes described by Amartya Sen. The current study is based on information retrieved from the databases of Stanford University and Indiana State University.
