Abstract

With the establishment of the Democratic State of Law through the 1988 Constitution, a complete arsenal of fundamental rights was inaugurated. The Judiciary began to be provoked into analyzing various issues which, until then, had not been within its area of influence. Since then, its decisions have, at least potentially, implied judicial activism, by taking a proactive stance, thus advocating the free creation of law, capable of going beyond the limits of legal hermeneutics. This article seeks to analyze the implications and consequences of judicial activism from the perspective of the thinkers Luigi Ferrajoli and Jünger Habermas.
