The study begins by presenting the first concepts (1517) in Tripatitum, the epochal work, through the influences of German/ Austrian philosophers, emphasizing the philosophical activities of Hungarian personalities, ending by presenting the changes occurred after 1947, when in the light of historical realities, great philosophers have been either removed or co-opted in the development of the new legal philosophical thinking according to the regime's ideology.
