Sumario: This article proposes an introductory overview of the development of the Sociology of Law: its historical origins, sources, debates and main authors are briefly sketched throughout this dissertation. This insight provides important guidelines to approach this relatively new discipline in our country from two forgotten authors, namely Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Georges Gurvitch. Their heterodox and contesting viewpoints as well as their pluralist thought, radical ideas on democracy, justice and equality are meaningful elements for analyzing the current state of affairs of Colombian society. Furthermore, this insight provides the framework for understanding the development of the Sociology of Law as a source of social transformation.
