Legal ontology

The legal ontology is the branch of the philosophy of law in charge of establishing the being of law, that is, what will be the object about which one is going to philosophize. Note that this object is prior to the knowledge that is applied to it, that is, it has its own reality before being studied. The legal ontology will obtain a concept of law that will serve as the basis for a subsequent philosophical reflection.

What is legal, then, in an interhuman relationship?: It is the interhuman relationship of justice between both; relationship between individuals, groups, strata, estates, social classes or entire towns; ethnic relations of justice, anthropological relations of interhuman justice, etc. What is the characteristic of this "fair" relationship?: It is a relationship of equity, but not of an abstract equity but objective, concrete between legal powers and obligations. The legal powers are correlative to the obligations from which they arise, from which they emerge in their fulfillment and their validity consists in the attachment to the obligations from which they arose from which they are correlative. Hence the importance of studying the phenomenon of correlation between legal faculty and obligation (from a strong Roman tradition: "obligatio est juris vinculum...").

Everything can be known or abstract knowledge
