More about the book
Valentin Tomberg's journey from St. Petersburg to becoming a prominent legal scholar reflects a profound transformation in his philosophical outlook. After converting to various Christian denominations, he shifted from humanistic studies to a Platonic understanding of knowledge and medieval realism. His 1944 dissertation critiques the decline of natural law in favor of legal positivism, which he views as a degeneration of legal principles. Tomberg advocates for a restructured academic approach to law that reinstates higher levels of legal understanding and restores the foundational ideals of justice.
