Hans Kelsen

Hans Kelsen

Hans Kelsen was an Austrian jurist legal philosopher, and political philosopher. He was born in 1881 and died in 1973. As fascism gained ground in Austria, he fled the country in 1930 for Germany; but, after Hitler's ascension to power in 1933, he was compelled to leave Germany for Geneva on account of his Jewish background. He eventually relocated to the United States in 1940. It was already widely known in the US for his advocacy of democracy and for his Pure Theory of Law. Both of these things contributed to his renown. Kelsen is widely regarded as one of the most prominent jurists of the 20th century, and academics of jurisprudence and public law have cited his work as having a significant impact on their fields. His influence extended to the realms of philosophy, legal science, sociology, the theory of democracy, and international affairs, among other academic disciplines.
