La función social de la propiedad en la obra de León Duguit: una re-lectura desde la perspectiva historiográfica

The notion of "social function of property" is considered the culmination of the justifications that the academy currently provides to private property issues. This notion has contributed during the twentieth century to the design of new contours of property rights towards redistributive goals. The work of Leon Duguit has been one of the landmarks in the field. However, the thesis of this paper argues that this notion is rather a "aporetic core" underlying tensions in not a merely empirical sense. In this direction, the central part of this paper explores how the historiographical perspective can contribute to understand certain ambivalence inherent in discussions about the allocation of a social function of private property.
