The essay concerns a philosophical controversy between Simone Weil and the personalism of Jacques Maritain and Emmanuel Mounier. This controversy calls into question also the constitutionalism, in so far it regards the mutual relations between human rights and duties. Simone Weil critizes personalism because it failed to break tbe connection with the concept of force, which is still implicit in the idea of rights. She aims to give prominence and priority to tbe idea of duty. Only the duty is, according to her, related to the concept of justice.
