History Pages of the Philosophy of Law in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The foundation of culture and civilisation, philosophy and the great philosophical systems have been meditations on the nature, essence and purpose of human existence. Knowledge of the fundamental theories, concepts and ideas contained in the whole of legal philosophy, in the work of our philosophers and jurists, is not possible without a broad framework of philosophical and legal debate at world, or at least European, level.The present study falls into the category of restitutions due, in terms of knowledge and appreciation of the remarkable contributions of some Romanian specialists in the philosophy of law, many of which have long been forgotten, distorted, truncated or simply eliminated from the national scientific heritage. At the same time, the work aims to highlight the social need for philosophy of law, to highlight the value of Romanian contributions at a time when, in global society, there is attendance to ignore and fade away specific valuable contributions, capable of entering the universal heritage of legal thought. In Romania, the beginnings of the philosophy of law coincide with the awakening of a unitary national sentiment, based on the idea of the Romanian origin of the nation. We can consider as important landmarks in the birth, evolution and development of the philosophy of law in Romania, the works of the chroniclers of the 17th and 18th centuries (some of whom were true philosophers of public law) or the first codification of private law, through the work of various jurists. The interwar period brought an increasing affirmation of the concerns devoted to the philosophy of law in Romania.
