Abstract: Starting from Paul Ricoeur’s phenomenology of the will and in dialogue with authors including, in particular, Heidegger, this article tries to elaborate the first assumptions of a possible general theory of motivation. This theory is supported by moral philosophy and philosophy of law and it is linked with a hermeneutics of decision and action centred on the figure of the subject of law as a capable subject, and as accountable for acts.

Abstract: the aim of this article is to reconstruct, among the many forms that natural law has taken in the course of history, those that emerge in the conceptions of H. Kelsen, R. Pound and H. Hart, authors who, while professing to be opponents of the doctrine of natural law, show themselves to be permeated by concepts and prerogatives that can be traced back to it. The positions expressed by these well-known exponents of 20th-century legal-political thought show, explicitly or implicitly, if not the impossibility, at least the criticality or limitation of an exclusively positive foundation of law.
