Abstract
The twelfth camel is a metaphor that has been used by authors such as Niklas Luhmann and Günter Teubner to demonstrate a version of the rationality of modern law. In this paper, François Ost exposes his own thoughts on the metaphor, and tries to go beyond paradoxes by providing twelve original readings, which in turn, give valuable insights for current debates about rationality, function and identity of legal systems. In sum, this paper is definitively an invitation to think about the creativity that law requires for reaching social justice. Resumen: El duodécimo camello es una metáfora que ha sido utilizada por autores como Niklas Luhmann y Günter Teubner, para mostrar una versión de la racionalidad del sentido del derecho moderno. En esta entrega, François Ost propone una lectura que busca superar las paradojas, y nos ofrece doce versiones originales, cuyos contenidos nutren el debate sobre la racionalidad, función e identidad del sistema jurídico. En definitiva, el texto es una invitación a reflexionar sobre la creatividad que debe asumir el derecho para crear condiciones de justicia social.
