Abstract
561
The aim of this paper is to explain how ethical relativism leads to a process of legal "absolutism"', and to the breakdown of a democratic system. The recovery of ethical objectivity, brought about by a metaphysical conception, belongs to a progressive relativism of Law, and to a healthy sense of democracy. The claim far absolute truth and absolute values prevents an absolutism of Law and sets the foundations of a legal partiality capable of making Law relative once again.
