The Law : Source of Legal Theory

 The Law

Source of Legal Theory

Legal theory draws its inspiration from legal academics' perspectives on the law and their interpretation of a law according to the logic they follow or maintain while using it to define the meaning of the law.

As outlined by Radbruch, who advanced a legal theory to clarify the many values and tenets of law up to its most fundamental philosophical premises.

Another example is given by Hans Kelsen, a professor of pure legal theory, who claims that pure legal theory is a general theory of law that both attempts to explain how existing laws are produced and fails to do so.

He added that the theory is known as a pure legal theory because it only considers the knowledge or cognition found in the law itself and because it purges the science of law of anything that is not the object of knowledge or cognition that is really determined to be the law. foreign substances are present.

Karl Marx, who lived throughout the current industrial revolution, also asserted that the current legal system serves as a justification for a particular social class. The "those who have" who own capital are the only individuals whose interests the current legal system supports.

He proposed the well-known view that law exists throughout the infrastructure and superstructure. The in issue infrastructure is a product of local economic interactions. The superstructure in question, meantime, consists of non-economic social structures, including the legal system, the political order, the cultural norms, and many others.

That explains legal theory in terms of the methodological development that was done in light of the foundation and history of studying law more widely.
