Abstract

The article provides an overview of the harm principle and its limit in the socalled"legal moralism", in the context of the anglo-american debate on the legitimacy ofthe punitive practice. The article aims to address the more general discussion about theseparation between Law and Morals, which, according to the author, attains a specialsignificance due to the recent chilean Constitutional Court ruling that upheldconstitutionality of article 365 of the chilean Criminal Code, that regulates consensualsodomy.
