Journal Title: Transformacje Prawa Prywatnego - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to show the impact of Rudolf von Jhering on the Polish jurisprudence of the second half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, including especially the relationship between the concepts of the German lawyer and the theories of Leon Petrażycki. The author points out that the reception of Jhering’s legal-philosophical concepts was diverse. Some scholars — like Leon Piniński and Władysław Maliniak — were of the opinion that the theory of interest served to establish better connections between civil law and economic reality. However, the far-reaching critique of Jhering’s ideas is contained in the writings of Leon Petrażycki who believed that Jhering’s theory was based on short-sighted utilitarianism. Moreover, that argument was emphasized not only by Petrażycki but also by Ignacy Koschembahr-Łyskowski. In the author’s opinion, the popularity of some solidarist concepts among Polish intellectual elites of that time was one of the reasons of the diverse reception of Jhering’s work.
