  • José Antonio Sánchez Rubín
    A reappraisal
  • Symposium on a new (and rather critical) introduction to legal positivism

    Edited by Toni Malminen

    Advanced Introduction to Legal Positivism (Elgar 2025) encapsulates Kaarlo Tuori’s long engagement with legal positivism. Tuori, professor emeritus of jurisprudence at the University of Helsinki, now confesses that he has lost some of his earlier optimism about legal positivism, believing that “many of legal positivism’s explicit and implicit presuppositions have lost their foothold and that its self-imposed constraints in both the social, moral, and cultural directions are ever more fatal.” Given legal positivism’s foundational role in contemporary legal thought and practice, this is a serious allegation. Tuori seeks to make his case by dissecting positivism’s normativity, social, and separation theses, finding Kelsen’s and Hart’s approaches to all problematic. Finally, he suggests that phenomena such as interlegality and transnational law require us to move past legal positivism.
