A veces se piensa que al hacer dogmática basta con el rigor lógico inductivo o deductivo, para llegar a conclusiones acertadas; grave error. Precisamente es lo que no pasa cuando se abordan temas como la inimputabilidad y la responsabilidad penal, materias en las que no bastan las conclusiones coherentes, debiéndose examinar, ante todo, las consecuencias políticas de los resultados a los que se llega, tal como lo pregona la dogmática axiológica seguida por el autor y diseñada por su compañero de luchas académicas, Juan Fernández Carrasquilla. Este libro reseña una polémica famosa sostenida con el profesor Federico Estrada Vélez, quien sostenía la no responsabilidad penal de los...

In The People and the King, John Leddy Phelan reexamines a well-known but long misunderstood event in eighteenth-century Colombia. When the Spanish colonial bureaucratic system of conciliation broke down, indigenous groups resorted to armed revolt to achieve their political ends. As Phelan demonstrates in these pages, the crisis of 1781 represented a constitutional clash between imperial centralization and colonial decentralization. Phelan argues that the Comunero revolution was not, as it has often been portrayed, a precursor of political independence, nor was it a frustrated social upheaval.
