The Contextual Dependence of the Interpretation of Constitutional Rights: An Analysis from the Point of View of Semantic Holism

Abstract

The analysis aims to reflect on how the external context conditions the legal interpretation of the constitutional provisions that recognize fundamental rights. To this end, some methodological indications from the field of philosophy of language are adopted, implicitly defending the possibility of a transposition, not mechanical and uncritical but analogical, of some essential acquisitions of semantic holism.
