The aim of this thesis is to investigate the legal manifestations of blockchain through the method of legal informatics and a re-reading of Thomas S. Kuhn’s thought. First, it will be essential to understand what a paradigm shift is according to the epistemologist’s view. Next, it will be analysed whether the same revolutions that the philosopher identifies in science can also be glimpsed in the sphere of legal knowledge, and then an attempt will be made to define which paradigm is currently present in law. Finally, having ascertained the possibility of speaking of paradigm shifts in the world of law as well, an attempt will be made to emphasise the legal method suitable for understanding the legal manifestations of blockchain, while also trying to understand whether the European and national approach to cryptoactivities is consistent with the identified legal paradigm shift.
L’obbiettivo della tesi è quello di indagare le manifestazioni giuridiche della blockchain attraverso il metodo dell’informatica giuridica e una rilettura del pensiero di Thomas S. Kuhn. Dapprima, sarà essenziale comprendere che cosa sia un cambio di paradigma secondo la visione dell’epistemologo. Successivamente, si analizzerà se anche nell’ambito del sapere giuridico si possano intravedere le medesime rivoluzioni che il filosofo individua nella scienza, cercando di definire quindi il paradigma attualmente presente nel diritto. Infine, appurata la possibilità di parlare di cambi di paradigma anche nel mondo del diritto, si cercherà di enfatizzare il metodo giuridico adatto a comprendere le manifestazioni legali della blockchain, cercando altresì di capire se l’approccio europeo e nazionale alle criptoattività sia coerente con il cambio di paradigma giuridico individuato.

Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the legal manifestations of blockchain through the method of legal informatics and a re-reading of Thomas S. Kuhn’s thought. First, it will be essential to understand what a paradigm shift is according to the epistemologist’s view. Next, it will be analysed whether the same revolutions that the philosopher identifies in science can also be glimpsed in the sphere of legal knowledge, and then an attempt will be made to define which paradigm is currently present in law. Finally, having ascertained the possibility of speaking of paradigm shifts in the world of law as well, an attempt will be made to emphasise the legal method suitable for understanding the legal manifestations of blockchain, while also trying to understand whether the European and national approach to cryptoactivities is consistent with the identified legal paradigm shift.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
