Vienna School of Jurisprudence

The Vienna School of Jurisprudence is a legal philosophy that emphasizes understanding law through its language, concepts, and systematic structure. It originated in Austria in the early 20th century, advocating that law is a system of defined rules and legal terms created and interpreted within a logical framework. Its focus is on clarifying legal language to determine what the law actually states, rather than moral or political values. This approach aims for precision and consistency in legal reasoning, viewing law as a set of formal rules that can be analyzed objectively through language and logical analysis.
