Abstract

Criticism of judicial discretion has been a constant in Theory of Law in recent decades, as part of the historical context of "post-positivism". However, the recent emergence of the political phenomenon of neopopulism, in Brazil and throughout the democratic West, establishes a new reality in the dynamics of institutional relations and the limits between law and politics. In this scenario, it is urgent to rethink the aspect of discretion beyond traditional criticism, seeking new perspectives about the limits of administrative discretion and the hermeneutic and epistemological linking of the meanings of constitutional norms with previous (logical-linguistic and scientific) standards of rationality.
