OF HANS KELSEN
Zoran Jelić
Federal Government of Yugoslavia
Abstract. The author of this paper deals with
the basic causes of numerous – often extremely negatively intoned – critical
estimations said on the account of Kelson's pure theory of law and exposes
essential propreties of certain phases of its development; point to the
contribution of Merkl and Verdross to the making of pure theory of law
and to the main determinants of Kelsen's attempts to formalize jurisprudence
(the science of law) for the purpose of creating conditions for exact and
objective study of positive law; analyzes the meaning and scope of Kelsen's
normativisms and provides his views of further making of the pure theory
of law.
Key words: pure theory of law, positive
law, theory of degrees, classical pure theory of law, new pure theory of
law, structural (immanent) approach to law, Kelsen's normativisms, logics
of norms, further making of the pure theory of law.
ZAPIS O PRAVNOJ TEORIJI HANSA KELZENA
Autor se u članku osvrće na osnovne uzroke mnogobrojnih
– često kranje negativno intorniranih – kritičkih ocena izrečenih na račun
Kelzenove čiste teorije prava i izlaže bitna obeležja pojedinih faza njenog
razvoja; ukazuje na doprinos Merkla i Ferdrosa izgradnji čiste teorije
prava i na glavne odrednice Kelzenovog pokušaja formalizacije jurisprudencije
(pravne nauke) radi stvaranja uslova za egzaktno i objektivno proučavanje
pozitivnog prava; analizira smisao i domašaj Kelzenovog normativizma i
daje svoje vidjenje dalje izgradnje čiste teorije prava.
