Abstract
This article offers a marxist approach on law and ethics based on the category of social forms and inspired by Evgeny Pashukanis’ contributions. By considering modern subjectivity as the core of legal and ethic forms, and by taking kantian thinking as a reference on the matter (such as Pashukanis did), it is possible to see how these historical categories are continuosly delimited by legal theory and somehow insistently connected to legal practice, at least according to the most influent jurists, both positivists and postpositivists, each one in his own way. This perception strenghtens pashukanian argumentation on the differences between legal form and ethical form despite the social and practical complementarity that they present in legal subject’s dynamics, whic is the modern abstract individual from capitalism.
