Alf Ross and The theory of prediction

The theory of prediction (prognosis theory) must be considered as the core of the philosophy of law in the legal realism of Alf Ross. It is concerned with the development of a scientific and objectivist foundation of legal science. With this theory Ross is challenging classical and modern conceptions of natural law in the legal philosophies of Aristotle and Kant, but also the conceptions of legal positivism in the 20^th century. Ross is inspired by the social technological and utility oriented legal positivism in the philosophy of Bentham, but he is also critical towards the idea of utility as a part of subjective legal policy. Moreover, the legal positivism of Austin is criticized for focusing too much on law as outer force and for not conceiving the function of law in society. According to Ross valid law is an expression of factual law in society and not as a sanction of a legal system of norms as we find it by Hans Kelsen. 

The Pure Theory of Law

The idea of a Pure Theory of Law was propounded by the formidable Austrian jurist and philosopher Hans Kelsen (1881–1973).  Kelsen began his long career as a legal theorist at the beginning of the 20th century. The traditional legal philosophies at the time, were, Kelsen claimed, hopelessly contaminated with political ideology and moralizing on the one hand, or with attempts to reduce the law to natural or social sciences, on the other hand. He found both of these reductionist endeavors seriously flawed. Instead, Kelsen suggested a ‘pure’ theory of law which would avoid reductionism of any kind. The jurisprudence Kelsen propounded “characterizes itself as a ‘pure’ theory of law because it aims at cognition focused on the law alone” and this purity serves as its “basic methodological principle”
