The second edition of Hans Kelsen’s «Pure Theory of Law» is one of the 20th cen- tury’s key works in legal theory and philosophy of law. The book appeared in 1960, and since then it has been attracting the attention of legal scholars. In particular, it is the point of departure for discussions of legal epistemology. Up to now «Pure Theory of Law» has been the most coherent version of legal positivism. The normativist in- terpretation of law put forward in this book gave rise to huge amounts of secondary literature. The Russian translation of the book will be useful for both faculty and students of law schools. In particular, it is indispensable for teaching legal theory, history of legal and political doctrines, and philosophy of law. It will also be helpful to everybody interested in legal theory.
