The Reasonableness of the Law

This English translation of Professor Korkunov’s (University of St. Petersburg) philosophical insight into universal legal thought as well as Russian juridical thought, provides interesting reading for all who would like to know about the basis of law. After an illuminating introduction, the book is divided into four broad parts -- conceptions of law, objective and subjective sides of law, hypothesis of natural law, and positive law. The author states: “Among all the branches of science it is precisely in law that the compelling necessity for a generalized system is felt. This arises from the fact that we cannot observe law in its entirety.”
