Professor Dr. Radomir D. Lukic's understanding of objective law

Abstract

Gordana Vukadinovic, once a PhD student mentored by Radomir D. Lukic, presents his understanding of objective law. In the abundant, multi-layered and varied opus of Radomir D. Lukic, which includes about 1000 scientific and expert papers, the phenomenon of the law is considered from all the important perspectives. The key elements of Lukic's philosophical teaching, from his PhD thesis to System of Philosophy of Law, are the division of the world into sense-world and supra-sensual and, accordingly, the distinction between positive and objective law. Lukic's objective law is made up of objective causal laws converted into legal norms. Objective and positive law are two sides of the same coin - the will of the ruling class, i.e. class organization of the society. A class society has to create positive law and to try to make it as similar as possible to objective law, or ideally to attain the coincidence of the two, in order to enable a dignified coexistence of as many people as possible. Objective law represents an ideal, an eternal sublime aspiration for a perfect humanity.
