Abstract
IN AN EARLIER issue of Western Political Quarterly, leading representative of doctrine of logical positivism in modern jurisprudence launched a vehement attack on various philosophies of law which he grouped together under collective term of the naturallaw doctrine.' The attack is directed against classical law-of-nature school of seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, represented by men like Grotius, Pufendorf, Hobbes, and Locke, as well as against certain sociological doctrines of more recent vintage, such as theories of Comte, Spencer, Hegel, and Marx. Kelsen includes latter theories in a criticism of natural law because he believes that their proponents, although opposed to many conclusions of natural-law philosophers, have employed similar fallacies of thinking and have run into similar errors.2
