Violence and order. My epistolary correspondence with Alvaro d'Ors.

Over twenty years I had an intense and very interesting for me epistolary correspondence with Professor Alvaro d'Ors (Barcelona, 1915 Pamplona, 2004). Alvaro d'Ors became a great lawyer after the civil war and worked as a professor at the time a journey that took Spanish in Santiago de Compostela and Pamplona, the two references.
Alvaro d'Ors shows a traditionalist thought, as we see in his book La violencia y el orden (Violence and Order) 1987). He also advocates a regionalism concerned to make a lace-style "foralista" of regions with the dogma of the unity of Spain. With the condition of membership in Opus Dei's work life from this perspective and based on a liberal Catholic who expressed a critical view of the Second Vatican Council, and the Christian humanism of Maritain.
One line of thought that is always displayed in a diaphanous is receiving the thought of Carl Schmitt, the dialectic friend/enemy as the foundation of political order, which incorporated the Franco regime, to legitimize the "new regime" as shown in his book on war and the Peace (National Prize "Francisco Franco" 1954), devoted himself to Carl Schmitt. Thus, stressed the distinction between power and authority, as the first manifestation of power, the latter in recognition of the authority, a distinction based on the dialectic between power and knowledge prevailing socially recognized.
It also highlighted the dedication of the university professor Alvaro d'Ors understood as a "profession" –remember his book Papeles del oficio universitario, 1961– a commitment that goes beyond the academic treatment of themes of Roman law, to provide a complex and elaborate conception of politics.
