    The american Pure Theory of Law
  

*by O***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2010*

Hans Kelsen (1881-1973) is, for most of jurists, the most important legal theorist in 20st Century. Born in Prague, he lived and worked in Austria (till 1930), from then on -due to the political circumstances- in Germany (1930-1933), french Switzerland (1933-1940) and the USA (1940-1973).His main work is the famous "Pure Theory of Law" (1934), a formalistic and structural scheme for interpret modern legal systems.Throughout his long and prolific life, across the three different legal traditions (german, french and anglosaxon) in wich he lived, taught and wrote, he published a large number of articles and books.The General Theory of Law and State (GTLS) marks a special phase in his carreer, because it symbolizes not a mere translation of his Pure Theory, but a true american version of it, because for the first time he confronts with the english and american legal tradition.For those who knows the german version of his Pure Theory, will found the GTLS es a wider and clearer explanation of its main thesis.

    Classics of theoretical legal thinking
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 7, 2013*

Kelsen's text is an example of internal coherence and concise argumentation. The book examines fundamental problems of legal thinking, and its' quality deserved to enter into scope of legal classics.
