Abstract

The notion of naturaleza is the touchstone of the Alfonsine legal project. It defines a link of dependency, conceived as an obligation or debdo. This work will focus on this concept, which originally does not belong to the political or legal field but to the economic one, by exploring . the polysemy of this term as well as defining the different semantic shifts that operate in the Alfonsine texts.
