Abstract

Discussing the value of justice in Kelsen's work, this article aims to expound an argument which analyses the mentioned value through the epistemological prism adopted by the specified law theorist, especially in his Pure Theory of Law. Even though he has written essays on politics, theory of justice, and so on, they have not been considered part of his legal theory since it was based on a restricted understanding of law as legal validity. According to it, even if reflections on justice are of great importance to philosophy, morals and politics, they have no significance to law and its pure theory.
