Abstract

The paper describes the influence of the 19th century philosophy of law and of neo-kantianism in Hans Kelsen’s work. Both constitute therefore the context in which Kelsen’s theory is to be understood. Regarding this context, Kelsen’s work can be read as a radicalization of the ideas of both movements in the development of a theory of law untied from problematic metaphysical assumptions rather than as a revolutionary contribution to the development of legal positivism.
