Originally published: Berkeley: University of California Press,
1957. vi], 397 pp. Through the lens of science, Hans Kelsen
proposes a dynamic theory of natural law, examines Platonic and
Aristotelian doctrines of justice and the idea of justice as found
in the holy scriptures. "You simply cannot get around this book if
you want a real understanding of the fundamental ideas on which the
great work of Kelsen is built. Reading this volume you may once
more admire the transparent clarity of style and the merciless
consistency of reasoning which are well known qualities of this
author." -- Alf Ross, 45 California Law Review 564 1957. Possibly
the most influential jurisprudent of the twentieth century, Hans
Kelsen 1881-1973] was legal adviser to Austria's last emperor and
its first republican government, the founder and permanent advisor
of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Austria, and the author of
Austria's Constitution, which was enacted in 1920, abolished during
the Anschluss, and restored in 1945. He was the author of more than
forty books on law and legal philosophy. Active as a teacher in
Europe and the United States, he was Dean of the Law Faculty of the
University of Vienna and taught at the universities of Cologne and
Prague, the Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Harvard,
Wellesley, the University of California at Berkeley, and the Naval
War College.
