Keywords: The Philosophy of Law from Enlightenment to the Contemporary Period;

Summary/Abstract: Born in the Middle Age but reaching a relevant level of high interest during the time of the Enlightenment, the academic law started to be taught in universities, as an autonomous knowledge, different from the knowledge of positive laws. It was then that the European Enlightenment launched a new era in the philosophy of law, thus turning law into a science founded on human nature, following Immanuel Kant’s motto “Sapere aude! Have the courage to use your own understanding!”
