Philosophy of law

An outstanding German legal scientist reaches a view of the right as a cultural value. The starting point of its analysis is the priority and exceptional value of the personality in law. Determining law as a will to justice, Radbruch emphasizes that the laws “devouring” this will are invalid and should not be executed. The author develops his thought, analyzing individual institutions of law: property, contract, marriage, and indicates ways to implement his ideas into legal practice. Having become a classic of philosophical and legal thought, the book of G. Radbrukh organically fits into the traditional and acutely actual polemic about the essence of law.
