Abstract
Este ensayo sitúa a Lon Fuller entre los pioneros del estilo de razonamiento
jurídico de posguerra, preocupado con el equilibrio de diversos propósitos
y compromisos éticos en conflicto que se consideran inmanentes en los materiales
jurídicos. Enmarca, asimismo, a Lon Fuller como una figura importante en dos líneas
narrativas de la historia del pensamiento jurídico estadounidense. En la primera de
ellas, Fuller contribuyó con interesantes e importantes aportaciones a la ecléctica
caja de herramientas del razonamiento jurídico contemporáneo. La segunda narrativa
posee más conflicto y drama. Fuller fue parte de una generación de académicos que
desplazó los métodos analíticos de sus predecesores con un nuevo pensamiento. Una
generación que sería, posteriormente, atacada y despreciada, a pesar de que muchas
de las contribuciones argumentativas que él y sus compañeros introdujeron calaron en
el trasfondo de la conciencia jurídica cotidiana.
