Miguel Reale (6 November 1910 – 14 April 2006) was a Brazilianjurist,philosopher, academic,politician andpoet, known as one of the most important Brazilian jurists and as an exponent of theThree-dimensional theory of law. He was one of the leaders ofIntegralism in Brazil and an ideologue of theBrazilian Integralist Action.
Reale served as Secretary of Justice for the state ofSão Paulo in 1947. He founded theBrazilian Institute of Philosophy in 1949 and the São Paulo-based Inter-American Society of Philosophy in 1954. He was a member of theBrazilian Academy of Letters.

Briefly, his theory can be understood as follows: "The social fact (sociological aspect) is valued (axiological aspect) and, due to this, it produces a legal standard." Thus, the three dimensions of law come into connection through a peculiar culturaldialectic called "dialectic of polarity and implication."
In 1969 he was appointed by PresidentArthur da Costa e Silva for "High Level Commission" set up to review the 1967Constitution. Resulted this work part of the text ofConstitutional Amendment No. 1, dated 17 October 1969, which consolidated themilitary regime in Brazil.
