HANS KELSEN’S PURE THEORY OF LAW TRANSLATED INTO SLOVAK

Pure Theory of Law, considered a cornerstone of legal literature, has been translated into Slovak for the first time.

It was written by Hans Kelsen (1881-1973), a major Austrian jurist and political theorist and the founder of “normativism”, whose name among lawyers needs no further introduction.

SOUKENÍK – ŠTRPKA and the Kalligram publishing house are honoured to have organised the introduction of the Slovak translation of the Pure Theory of Law (original title: Reine Rechtslehre), one of the most important works of legal philosophy of the 20^th century. This book is considered his masterpiece and gradually came together over his active career.

It was introduced by Dr. Clemens Jabloner, a university professor and general director of the Hans Kelsen Institute in Vienna and the editors of EXEMPLA IURIS Prof. Alexander Bröstl and Prof. Pavel Holländer.
