Paper's abstract

Stephan Grätzel, Legal philosophy and Wrongs of the Past: A "Third Course" Toward a Humanisation of Law According to Gustav Radbruch
The author shows that, in Radbruch legal philosophy, the idea of law answers three parameters which interfere with everyday legal practice: the need for justice, the demand of guarantee, the concern for ends. Respecting these parameters is essential in a democratic society.

Key Words : Radbruch, justice, guarantee, ends
