The paper retraces certain episodes in 20th-century jurisprudence, focusing particularly on Emilio Betti. Recalling his experience and impact in Brazil, the discussion addresses several theoretical and methodological issues, including the interplay between auto-integration and hetero-integration within legal systems, as well as the nature of legal interpretation and dogmatic concepts. The study also highlights connections between Betti’s research, and the linguistic analysis undertaken in Italy during the 1950s, aiming to underscore the richness of an open scientific mindset that fosters intergenerational dialogue, irrespective of disciplinary boundaries.
Il contributo ripercorre alcuni episodi della filosofia del diritto del Novecento che hanno visto protagonista, in particolare, Emilio Betti. Richiamando la sua esperienza e il suo impatto in Brasile, si toccano alcune questioni teorico-generali e di metodologia, quali l’auto-eterointegrazione nei diritti vigenti e la natura della interpretazione e dei concetti dogmatici. Lo studio ricorda anche taluni intrecci tra le ricerche bettiane e quelle di analisi del linguaggio negli anni Cinquanta in Italia, allo scopo di rivendicare la fecondità di una indole scientifica aperta volta a promuovere uno spirito di confronto attraverso generazioni, a prescindere dagli orizzonti disciplinari.
