Summary: The present work is structured under two hypotheses. The first hypothesis claims that corrective justice is the principle that better explains the theory and practice of tort law. The second hypothesis, which shall be called the inseparability thesis, holds it is impossible to separate tort law from the demands of corrective and distributive justice. Both statements are based on its discussion in the Anglo-American literature, although some Chilean will also be discussed. Additionally, it is argued that the two hypotheses are applicable to the practical development of tort law's problems, providing a theoretical framework that allows creating new solutions to these problems that have not been addressed adequately by Chilean legal scholars.
