Abstract
This paper represents a re-reading of the key concepts of the "American Legal Realism" in order to point out the charateristics that made of it an american legal philosophy. Especially, it deals with some similarities between the Realists' own conception of jurisprudence and law (Llewellyn, Frank, etc.) and the pragmatist tradition (Peirce, Dewey, James).
