          Abstract

          Abstract Socrates´ thought of justice and obedience to laws is motivated by a will to avoid the destructive effects of Sophistic criticisms and theories of laws. He thus requires-against theories of natural law-an almost absolute obedience to the law, as far as this law respects the legal system of the city. But, against legal positivism, Socrates would not admit that a law is just simply because it is a law: he is looking for the true Just. However, as often in Socratic philosophy, Socrates cannot accept that two equally justified and legitimate rights or moral values conflict.

          Translated abstract

          Resumen El pensamiento de Sócrates sobre la justicia y la obediencia a las leyes trata de evitar los efectos destructivos de las críticas y teorías sofísticas de las leyes. Así, él requiere, en contra de las teorías de ley natural, una obediencia casi absoluta de la ley, en tanto esta ley respete el sistema legal de la ciudad. Sin embargo, en contra del positivismo legal, Sócrates no admitirá que una ley es justa solo porque es una ley: él busca la verdadera Justicia. Aún así, como es común en la filosofía socrática, Sócrates no puede aceptar que dos derechos o valores morales igualmente justificados y legítimos estén en conflicto.
