From the <strong>Historical School</strong> of the nineteenth century through the <em>Pure Theory of Law</em> of the twentieth, German thinkers have repeatedly posed fundamental questions about the nature, sources, and limits of law with extraordinary rigour and depth. The German tradition is distinguished by its close connection to philosophy — particularly <em>Kantian</em> and <em>Hegelian</em> traditions — and by its sustained engagement with the relationship between positive law and justice in the aftermath of the Nazi regime.</p>
