Apart from considering classical theories of justice from Aristotle, Plato, Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Bible, and the Quran, the aim of Justice and Law is to focus on the contemporary vista, reviewing some of the modern ideas of justice advanced by legal philosophers of our time, such as John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas, Ronald Dworkin, Robert Nozick, Richard A. Posner, Wojciech Sadurski, Marxism, or Feminist Theories. In the second part of the work, María José Falcón y Tella deals with some of the principal themes relating to justice, such as punishment, civil disobedience, conscientious objection, just war, conflict of duties, and tolerance.

Los ensayos del presente volumen fueron escritos durante la última década y reflexionan acerca de una serie de temas que se encuentran presentes en la obra de Juan Rulfo. Estos temas pueden resumirse en cuatro conceptos: el espacio, la sociedad, la concepción de la realidad, y la marginalidad. Ellos exploran la concepción del espacio tal como aparece tratada en los trabajos literarios y visuales del escritor mexicano; la insersión del autor y de su obra en la circunstancia histórica de la sociedad mexicana de mediados de siglo, así como de los eventos que sus escritos reflejan; las maneras de pensar propias de las poblaciones indígenas y campesinas de América Latina, su concepción de la realidad y del universo, que generalmente se oponen a las maneras del pensar occidental; y la noción de marginalidad que permea la obra de Rulfo. Estos conceptos guían el estudio de la obra rulfiana, que aun hoy día genera lecturas ricas y novedosas.
