La ciencia jurídica y su historia
INTRODUCCIÓN
Der Erkenntnisauftrag der Rechtsgeschichte wie der
jeder anderen Historie [ist] nicht im vorgegebenen
Material der einzelnen Daten und Fakten und ihrem
Nutzwerk für die Gegenwart begründet, sondern in
der Geschichtlichkeit unserer eigenen Existenz selbst1
Franz Wieacker, Privatrechtsgeschichte der Neuzeit, 21967, p. 16
Se ha dicho que Europa es una entidad mental2: pen-
samiento, idea, cultura. Tres grandes productos del espíritu
humano le dan su carácter: la religión de Israel, la metafí-
sica griega y el derecho romano, en la recordada frase del
maestro Zubiri.3 Hecha de cafés y de distancias transitables,
1 «La misión cognoscitiva de la historia jurídica, como toda otra
historia, no encuentra justicación en el complejo de datos y
hechos del pasado, ni en su capacidad de ser utilizados directa-
mente para el presente, sino en la historicidad de nuestra propia
existencia».
2 Eliot, «Tradition and the individual talent», 1934, p. 16.
3 Zubiri, Naturaleza, Historia, Dios, 61974, p. 5, en idea que hacen
suya los romanistas Juan Iglesias y Alfonso Castro como lema
