Hacia un nuevo Código Penal para Chile. Consideraciones sobre los principios en el anteproyecto de Alfredo Etcheberry

Abstract

The author suggests that we understand the problem of the principles in Prof. Em. Etcheberry’s Penal Code Project, as an issue about the origins or the beginnings of codification, rather than as an exploration of the values that underlie the specific rules contained in the project. This going back to origins should not be understood in conservative ways as a regression, but rather as a logical return to the conditions that allow us to understand criminal law as a practice that can inhabit the world of the law.
