Abstract
The dominant legal trend today ispositivism, whether we look at national or European law. Almost all technical analysisfocuses on the text of the law, the effect of a centralized normative effort. It is appropriate todivide positivism into a structural one, having as its very object the norm, supplemented byanalytic positivism, including the explanatory effort of the norm under consideration. Ourambition is to date positivism in its nascent form, leaving behind the current prejudice that it was born in the nineteenth century, as a result of scientific work on society. However, if welook at the Gospel juridical parables, we may be surprised to see that positivism appearsanonymously with political legislation, also considering some precursors of modern law: theperson, equality before the law and the concept of legal representation. Once politicallypresent, positivism is constituted as a legal ontology, a somewhat paradoxical andcounterintuitive idea, but perfectly explainable, with the ultimate goal of erasing all traces of pagan jusnaturalism.
