Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-03 00:00:00 Stephen Calabretta Kelsen is a clever jurist who approached legal positivism in a novel and interesting way. Previous theories of legal positivism tend to revolve around the power of the sovereign. Kelsen took things a different direction and put the authority of law in to followers of the law. In this book, we learn about the Basic Norm (Grundnorm) and how subjects of the law adopt a unique Basic Norm according to their situation. Further, Kelsen describes the nature of the jurist, explaining the science of law and how this science is different from morality and justice. The ideas in this book are amazing. Unfortunately, the writing is obtuse. Tackling the work is very difficult yet highly rewarding.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-06 00:00:00 Monica Mcintosh Este libro es como regresar el tiempo y re-tomador TODAS mis clases que he tenido en mis 4 semestres de la universidad. Me hubiera gustado que me lo hubieran dejado leer desde mi ingreso, pero haberlo leído a estas alturas, me ha refrescado la memoria y es genial jajaja. Hans Kelsen es un genio, que me ha acompañado y me acompañrá para toda mi vida, creo que es tiempo de que nos hagamos amigos, porque es ideal para consultar cuando tenga alguna duda o quiera aclarar algo. Un aplauso a mi profesora de Lógica Juridica por haber hecho "La teoría pura del derecho" el primer libro del semestre. *se emociona porque aún quedan como 5 más* *sarcasmo*
