Publisher's Synopsis
General Theory of Law is a seminal work by the Russian jurist and legal philosopher, Nikolai Mikhailovich Korkunov. Originally published in 1909, this book is considered one of the most influential works in the field of legal theory. In this book, Korkunov provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the nature of law, its functions, and its relation to society. He explores the various theories of law, including positivism, natural law, and legal realism, and argues that law is a social institution that is shaped by cultural, historical, and political factors. Korkunov also examines the role of judges and legal institutions in interpreting and applying the law, and discusses the relationship between law and morality.
