Leibniz e l’interpretazione giuridica. Considerazioni sulla risoluzione dei casi “perplessi”

The purpose of this article is to show how the legal philosophy of young Leibniz, or at least the part of it concerning the theory and technique of argumentation, is compatible with a positivist position. In particular, the analysis will focus on the Disputatio de casibus perplexis in iure, a work that has received little attention in Italian legal literature, but which claims that a solution ex mero iure can be provided for each perplexing case.
