Russian legal theorists condemn Marxist law theory, without being truly familiar with it. The theory is criticized for dogmatism, for not being applicable to modern political and legal processes and phenomena and for providing justification of the mass terror taking place in the USSR in 1930s-40s. However, the above cannot be said to have any relation to the Marxist theory of law as such. What this criticism is really aimed at is its Soviet ver- sion based on the positivistic understanding of law as a set of rules of conduct established by the state. Whereas, the Marxist law theory views its subject matter as a form of economic relation, based on such principles as equality, free will, interdependence and universal validity of law. It is perhaps for that reason that the researchers who share a progressive, democratic view of law in- creasingly turn to Marxism when analyzing contemporary legal phenomena.

Российские правоведы марксистской теории права не знают, но относятся к ней негативно. Теория критикуется за догматизм, несоответствие современным политико-правовым процессам и явлением, оправдание массового террора, проводимого в СССР в 30-40 гг. прошлого столетия. Однако названные недостатки никакого отношения к марксистской теории права не имеют. Критике подвергается ее советская версия, основанная на позитивистском понимании права как совокупности правил поведения установленных государством. Марксистская теория права понимает право как форму экономических отношений, суть которого составляют такие принципы как равенство, свобода воли, взаимозависимость, эквивалентность и общеобязательность. Творческое развитие марксистской теории права применительно к современным

The metaphor of constructing, popular in modern science, has gained a distinction into two main streams: constructivism and constructionism. In our article, we try to answer the question of which features of one of these two construction theories are more compatible with the distinguishing features of legal sciences and what this might mean in contemporary scientific practice. We treat our proposals as a starting point for further discussions on this topic.

There are multiple and diverse voices of jurists who have expressed their fear of the unrestricted power of law enforcement and have announced the crisis of the formalist sense of Law. The widespread reaction against the abstract and formalist character of the positivist theory of law manifested itself as the Krausist philosophy of law and was backed by the philosophy of Krause, Schelling, Hegel and the most recent Natural Law theories that seek to establish substantial criteria for moral action. This distrust was caused by the heteronomy of modest and obedient civil servants of the judicial order that rely on political balance of power in which nothing depends on the human bottom of institutions. Let us consider briefly the impressive analyses performed by different thinkers on this issue, which they considered characteristic of their era, but that continues to constitute a difficulty that challenges contemporary society.

The study deals with a phenomenon of responsibility. It distinguishes between natural responsibility and moral responsibility or legal responsibility (liability). The central intention of the text is to reveal that responsibility does not refer only to moral or legal dimensions. The natural responsibility is greater (more important) than the moral responsibility or legal one. What is more, both the moral responsibility and the legal responsibility are changeable. The natural responsibility instead, is constant and concerns all the mankind in the same way.

The author analyzes and compares various meanings of the concept of equity such as they were conceived by prominent personalities of the history of the juridical, ethical and philosophical ideas in order to deduct their common contents. Having ethical and juridical connotations, the vision on equity and on applying its principles into the law-making process, into achieved the act of justice and in all kind of public authorities decision-taking process are differently designed at micro-groups level compared to the macro-social layer. The practical achievement of equity and justice is the privilege of the just person. The rightful person’s personality in the contemporary democratic societies may be considered as an ideal prototype which should be found in a larger extent, in the effective functioning of the institutions under the rule of law – at the level of human resources, with as much possible appropriate compliance with this prototype.

The article draws attention to one remarkable feature in the perception of the Hermann Cohen doctrine in Russia, namely special attention on the part of Russian philosophers of the twentieth century to the turn of the ethical theories of the founder of the Marburg school of neo-Kantianism. In Russia, the most representative approach to the analysis of Cohen’s ethical theories is one conducted from the perspective of the philosophy of law. Ethical theories of the Marburg philosopher were in the center of scientific debate of the most famous Russian theorists of law – P.I. Novgorodtsev, B.A. Kistyakovsky, E.V. Spektorsky. The appeal rights of Russian theorists to analyze ethical problems Cohen highlighted the relation of law and morality. The central theme of the arguments in this respect was the theme of ethics orientation of the Marburg philosopher on jurisprudence. Of particular importance in view of the historicist and positivist tendencies that prevailed at the end of the 19th century in legal science in Russia, was rehabilitation of Cohen’s and his followers’ the concept of “natural law”. The main drawback of the criticism coming from Russian theorists of law in relation to Cohen is that their approach to the ideas of this great German thinker is not systematic enough, attempting to consider their ethical views independently from other parts of their philosophical constructions.

The article approximates and critically assesses the philosophical and legal argumentation of deputies contained in their speeches at the sittings of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland of the 8th term (2015–2019). It discusses cases where parliamentarians, among other things, referred to the assumptions of particular philosophical-legal schools; commented on the essence, features, goals and values of law; argued about the optimal degree of positivisation of moral norms; quoted philosophers. The study revealed the influ-ence of the party affiliation of MPs on their philosophical and legal argumentation. Deputies of the Law and Justice Party more often than others referred in their speeches to the axiology of law and natural law, emphasized the importance of justice and equity in the process of enacting and applying the law, and underlined the role of social legitimacy of normative acts and court rulings. On the other hand, MPs belonging to the parliamentary opposition — especially the Civic Platform and the Modern Party members — high-lighted the formal rule of law, opposed bills perceived as moralistic and confessional, and sought in justice and equity as the criteria for judgements the sources of excessive judicial discretion that threatened legal certainty and security. In the author’s view, the broadly understood philosophy of law has a utilitarian value for the parliamentary debate. It is desirable, however, that MPs’ re-marks of a philosophical and legal nature should be part of factual argumentation, and not reduced to superficial rhetoric or linguis-tic ornamentation.

In this paper there are analyzed elements of the first and the second pillar of security culture with emphasis on the legal issues, which governs the social life of contemporary societies. Authors aims to prove how important for the state security is to mindfully combine morality with legal regulations, and how in fact these elements of the two pillars of security culture interpenetrate and equally impact the safety of the entire society. There are introduced three dimensions of security culture and the effectiveness and philosophy of law were investigated as well to see that state and culture are mutually connected.

In this paper the authors try to argue that the notion of legal interest has not been analysed in sufficient detail in Polish specialist literature, although this notion is weighty in the field of law theory and its tenets. Making an attempt to describe the nature of the notion of legal interest in legal and philosophical way, the authors exhort to reflect on ontological, epistemological and axiological backgrounds of this concept.

Dokonując prawno-filozoficznej analizy pojęcia dobra prawnego, autorzy nawołują do refleksji nad ontologicznymi, epistemicznymi i aksjologicznymi podstawami konstytuującymi to pojęcie.

The main purpose of the presented research project is to prepare an initiating answer to the present state of judicial integrity recognised as the top of legal professions and the legal system as such. The method comes mainly from the Oxford analytical jurisprudence, nevertheless, the historical and interdisciplinary approaches, as well as a legal practice, were taken seriously into consideration. The main theses and their scientific standpoints are: (i) at present, we are facing the disintegration of integrity; (ii) one of the sources of it lies in the very grounds of major jurisprudential terms, understood as parts of the Hartian internal point of view and that there are fundamental analytical paradoxes of integrity, generating practical dysfunctionalities; (iii) it is possible to solve main problems through a completely new approach: an ontological turn in the philosophy of law causing the idea of law as a concept and a new concept of integrity, namely ‘negative integrity’. It could be easily and effectively treated as practical support for firstly improving judicial integrity and secondly legal practice in general.

Punishing (Non-)Citizens

If sociologists are to be trusted, reflexivity, focused on itself and devoid of any religious or at least ideological framework, leads to the weakening of control mechanisms. Such changes are accompanied by the polarization of social classes and by the exclusion of the so-called underclass (which certainly includes a vast majority of criminals) from the civil society. In the doctrine of criminal law of “mature modernism”, within the framework of a liberal-democratic state, the civil society, together with the idea of communication, is supposed to constitute a central reference point in the research on criminal liability. Reflexivity brings up new problems. New citizen-oriented criminal law is being shaped, based upon mediation and communication (e.g. restorative justice, Expressive Theory). The civil society does not include the area of politics or political nature of things, where the problem is not the justification of the punishment but the effectiveness of mere spatial isolation. In this sense, it is difficult to talk about the merits of the emancipation of an individual from the limitations imposed by the society. The weakening of any external authority and of political duties owed to the state is replaced by self-control proper to reflexive modernity only in cases where the individuals have adequate intellectual and ethical predispositions. Disappearance of the influence of external rules and values together with the mechanism of exclusion from the civil society results in the weakening of self-control and in selfish care only about one’s own perspective (but also in repressive subordination by the state). Such a state of affairs creates favourable conditions for objectifying criminal liability, abandoning the concept of guilt, and for attempts to provide an ethical justification of penalty – which are concepts taken from the “world of citizens”.

The purpose of this article is to a%empt to provide a more precise answer to the question of Paul Vladimiri’s (Latin: Paulus Vladimiri; Polish: Paweł Włodkowic) account of the concept of permissive natural law. This purpose is realized in two steps. First, a brief history of permissive natural laws in the tradition of medieval philosophy is discussed, and the historical context, in which Paul Vladimiri developed his theory of natural law, is outlined. Next, some excerpts from Vladimir’s writings are analysed, in which he uses phrases indicating the presence of the concept of permissive law in his philosophy.

Dominujący współcześnie w doktrynie libertariańskiej nurt propertarianistyczny utrzymuje, że dla ułożenia harmonijnych stosunków międzyludzkich niezbędne jest ustanowienie i wyraźne zakreślenie własności prywatnej. Pomimo tak silnej preferencji dla praw majątkowych libertarianie propertarianistyczni nie wypracowali spójnego stanowiska wobec prawa własności intelektualnej. W odniesieniu do prawa patentowego i autorskiego wyróżnić można trzy stanowiska: afirmację, woluntaryzm i abolicjonizm. Przedstawicielem pierwszego z wymienionych był Robert Nozick, libertarianin cieszący się bodaj największą sławą i uznaniem środowisk akademickich. Zdaniem filozofa, zasada sprawiedliwego nabywania (jeden z fundamentów teorii legalistycznej) implikuje konieczność uznania m.in. silnej ochrony patentowej. Tytuł do dóbr intelektualnych (zarówno wynalazków, jak i utworów) miałby być naturalnym i przedpolitycznym prawem każdej jednostki, wynikającym z pracy włożonej w stworzenie owych dóbr. Niezależnie od tego, czy twierdzenia Nozicka mogą być uznane za przekonujące, argumenty libertarian za i przeciw legitymizacji własności intelektualnej stanowią ważny głos nie tylko na płaszczyźnie nauk niedogmatycznych (teorie legitymizacji własności intelektualnej), ale i dogmatycznych, gdzie służyć mogą choćby w debacie nad właściwym modelem praw autorskich majątkowych.

Propertarianism, the most prominent of contemporary libertarian factions, holds that in order to establish a harmonious society it is necessary to introduce and delineate the right of private property. Despite the strong preference for property rights, right-wing libertarians do not agree, however, on the legitimization of intellectual property. There are three main libertarian stances on this question: affirmation, voluntarism and abolitionism. The most famous and academically influential exponent of the adherents’ faction is perhaps Robert Nozick. According to the philosopher the rule of just initial acquisition (one of the pillars of the entitlement theory) implicates the necessity of i.a. the strong patent rights. Title to the intellectual goods (both copyright and patent) would be a natural and pre-political right of every individual, resulting from labor put into their creation. Regardless of whether Nozick claims seem convincing, libertarian arguments for and against legitimization of intellectual property make up for an important voice both in the sphere of philosophy of law and jurisprudence debating on the proper model of copyright.

In this paper we sketch the approach given by D. Minich in her book about G.L. Seidler’s theory of civility, law and state. Thus, we argue that D. Minich’s presentation does not include general conclusions in this matter.
