Lusophone Jurisprudence in Iberoamerican Legal Philosophy

Several authors in the field of pure philosophy have argued the existence of a Luso-Brazilian philosophy. There is even a Luso-Brazilian Institute of Philosophy (Instituto de Filosofia Luso-Brasileiraj that has important acüviües such as publications, and the organization of the colloquium Tobias Barreto in Portugal, and the colloquium Antero de Quental in Brazil. The central idea of this paper is to apply the same paradigm of inter-national philosophies (based on common language, and lasting dialogue at the cultural heritage level) to the philosophy of law, especially the non-academic one (the academic seems to be more cosmopolitan). Therefore we pose the question: Is there a Luso-Brazilian legal philosophy? And if there is, what is its place in the context of Latin American legal philosophy?
