Legal Philosophy

Радбрух Густав ( Radbruch, Gustav )

Distinguished German legal scholar gives ground to the view that law is a cultural value. The starting point of his analysis lies in the priority and exclusive value of personality in law. Defining law as the will to justice, Radbruch stresses that laws which eat away at this will are ineffective and should not be fulfilled. The author develops his line of thought by analysing different institutes of law; propriety, agreement, marriage, while showing how his ideas can be introduced into legal practice. Having become the classic on philosophical and legal thought, Radbruch’s book organically fits into the traditional and highly relevant polemic about the nature of law. For lawyers, philosophers, scholars and practitioners, students and postgraduates.
