Abstract
The two seminal essays written by Yan Thomas and Jacques Chiffoleau – wose Italian edition has just been published (L’istituzione della natura, a cura e con un saggio di M. Spanò, Macerata, Quodlibet, 2020) examine casuistry, understanding it as a reformulation of the different functions assigned to the idea of nature in the Roman and Medieval juridical knowledge. This contribution proposes an original interpretation of Thomas’ and Chiffoleau’s positions, with a comment to Michele Spanò’s essay.
