The introduction of a new thesis into the legal world requires a presentation of what will be presented and the establishment of premises so that the reader, like the frame of a painting, can better understand the proposal. We begin the presentation by presenting our vision of what law is, and what we understand this expression to mean, in its finalistic dimension. Next, the idea is to prove that Law is not just a set of rules of conduct, nor is it limited to understanding the nature of the legal norm. We will raise the lens of our microscope to argue that the Law is understood as a set of rules and conduct with the aim of avoiding human conflicts. Not that it solves them, but most of the time it is capable of bringing the conflict of interests to an end. One caveat, however, is necessary: over time, the set of socially imposed rules of conduct - what we generically call Law - has been the object of profoundly different understandings, depending on the historical, social, political and philosophical context of each era. Let's examine it in its entirety.
