Josef Kohler’s View on Philosophy of Law and Culture

Abstract

Joseph Kohler, a German philosopher, authored a vast number of works in the fields of private and commercial law and the philosophy of law. His conception of evolution starts with the Hegelian school and concludes with the Neo-Hegelian theory. Kohler provided a corpus of systematic philosophical philosophy that connects to evolution and seeks to settle the basic issues of knowledge, law, art, and the universal ideals of science. Kohler disputes the concept of natural law, which emerges in every individual at every age. The renowned book “Philosophy of Law” by Kohler provides an introduction to the philosophy of law, the cultural development process, the relationship between law and culture, the legal order and peaceful management of law, etc. According to him, the law is the most basic moral phenomenon. In addition, he addresses the law in a constructive manner to achieve justice. This work’s objective is to review the contribution of Josef Kohler to the philosophy of law and culture. This contains the primary tenets of Kohler’s legal theory. This work also addresses the philosophy of law and its relevance in culture, the cultural development process, the relationship between law and culture, the primary method of law, and the philosophical version of civil and criminal law. Lastly, using Joseph Kohler as a case study, this essay explains how human culture can be used to show that the philosophy of law is the main branch of philosophy that focuses on the meaning of human life and actions.
