REVUSOV FORUM
Pred-konvencije: korak  
v psihološko pravoslovje?
Razprava z Brunom Celanom
Neposredno potem ko je bil objavljen italijanski izvirnik 
razprave Bruna Celana z naslovom Pre-convenzioni (Ragion 
pratica 2014/2), smo se pri Revusu odločili za njegovo objavo 
v angleškem prevodu. Pogovori, ki sem jih imel o tej temi z 
Marcom Brigaglio, pa so spodbudili organizacijo širšega fo-
ruma, posvečenega Celanovi razpravi. Brigaglia sam se je pri-
jazno odzval na povabilo, da k forumu prispeva daljšo uvo-
dno študijo. Ta osrednje besedilo umesti v okvire Celanovega 
opusa z ugotovitvijo, da gre za pomemben (četudi implicitni) 
preobrat, v katerem je mogoče prepoznati avtorjev prvi korak 
v »psihološko pravoslovje«.
Revusov forum o pred-konvencijah je razporejen v 
dve številki Revusa. V tej številki so še kritični komentarji 
Federica Joséja Arene, Dala Smitha in Joséja Juana Moresa. V 
naslednji številki pa bodo objavljeni prispevki Luísa Duarteja 
d’Almeide, Rodriga Sáncheza Brigida, Pierluigija Chiassonija, 
Marca Segattija in Sebastiána Figueroe Rubia – skupaj s 
Celanovim odgovorom vsem sogovorcem.
Urednik foruma se želim zahvaliti Marcu Segattiju za 
prevod osrednjega besedila v angleščino, recenzentom in ko-
mentatorjem pa za njihovo sodelovanje. Posebna zahvala gre 
seveda Brunu Celanu, ki je Revusov izziv, da se sooči s kritiki, 
sprejel predano in naklonjeno.

DISCUSSION
Pre-conventions: towards a psychological 
jurisprudence?
A discussion with Bruno Celano
Immediately after the publication of the Italian original of Bruno Celano’s 
paper Pre-convenzioni (Ragion pratica 2014/2) we decided to prepare its 
English translation for publication in Revus. My conversations with Marco 
Brigaglia regarding this project stimulated the organization of a broader criti-
cal forum dedicated to Celano’s paper. Brigaglia kindly accepted the invitation 
to contribute a comprehensive introductory study. This underlines the signifi-
cance of the paper within Celano’s larger opus by showing that it constitutes a 
crucial (though implicit) turn, which may be represented as the author’s first 
step towards a “psychological jurisprudence”. 
The resulting discussion on pre-conventions is placed in two issues of Revus. 
Whereas the present issue also includes the contributions of Federico José 
Arena, Dale Smith and José Juan Moreso, the next issue will feature the com-
ments by Luís Duarte d’Almeida, Rodrigo Sánchez Brigido, Pierluigi Chiassoni, 
Marco Segatti and Sebastián Figueroa Rubio – togheter with Celano’s reply to 
them all.
As the editor of this discussion, I wish to thank Marco Segatti for the English 
translation, as well as the reviewers and commentators for their participation. 
Of course, a special thanks goes to Bruno Celano who graciously accepted to 
confront the challenges presented by the commentators.
