Abstract

As much as František (Franz) Weyr (1879–1951) may be widely acknowledged to be an exponent of the reine Rechtslehre (the Czech version of it, known as the Brünner Schule),¹ an early article he wrote in 1908—three years before Kelsen's Hauptprobleme der Staatsrechtslehre—can easily be described as setting out in outline some of the fundamental legal-philosophical positions of what in the 1910s and 1920s would come to be known as the budding Austrian school of law, the school responsible for most widely known form of "pure theory of law."
