Erich Kaufmann (1880–1972) was an international lawyer as well as a philosopher of law. His point of departure in the philosophy of law was the neo-Kantianism of the southwest school (Windelband, Rickert, and Lask), a current of thought concerned with the problem of values, and which at the same time sought to lay out the method and epistemological framework specific to each of the special sciences.
