Abstract

Sociologists who deal with legal phenomena often live a paradox and an internal contradiction that they are not always able to admit or to identify or resolve. This is especially true of holistic approaches to socio-legal studies, for which the individual is in some way, at different levels of depth, a function of the social group or the social system. The legal phenomenon is in fact intrinsically individual. Every modern legal conception, wittingly or not, is based on individual rights and duties. The collective implications of the law are perfectly clear to lawyers and laymen, and when needed they can be translated into institutions such as collective responsibility or group sanctions, but the common unit of legal analysis is the individual with some legal capacity. Think of the Roman brocard Haec sunt principia iuris: honeste vivere, alterum non laedere, suum cuique tribuere (“The basic principles of right are: to live honorably, not to harm any other person, to render each his own” [Digest 1.1.10; Watson 1985, p. 2]). The very fact that we are now witnessing a renewed debate on collective rights and action shows that the perception of the law we have inherited has always been intrinsically individualistic.
