. Historical school of law: theory and political practice in Germany (1815-1848).

Abstract: This article by Professor V.G. Bayev provides us with a detailed evaluation of the historical school of law, which had been traditionally criticized as a reactionary one. However, as the author notes, its study is of considerable interest within the contest of particular time and place, as the principle of historicism requires us, since there is no such thing as an universal theory and each theory strives to deal with the challenges of its own time. The article contains analysis of the views of the key representatives of this school, as well as of the historical conditions of its development and of its input into the development of legal theory.
