MORALITY, AT THE CONFLUENCE BETWEEN THE LEGAL AND THE

Morality is probably one of the oldest rules of conduct that have been imposed on members of a community, in order to establish and ensure a good coexistence. Prior to the emergence of the legal norm, it evolved with human society, being subject to continuous paradigm shifts, in a permanent attempt to reflect as accurately as possible the evolutionary trends of human communities. Although it does not yet benefit from a concrete definition or a precise limitation, morality is, first of all, the object of study of ethics, as a philosophical discipline, but when it interferes with the legal norm, inevitably a theorizing from its legal perspective becomes imminent. Plurivalent subject, but also constant of our social life, morality remains one of the most complex and controversial topics, not only in legal doctrine, but also in philosophy.
