LEIBNIZ'S THEORY OF LAW.

The article discusses principle of contradiction rephrased by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. he held that the criterion of truth is thought; this permitted him to substitute, in place of the dominant theological attitude of the time, a rationalistic approach to natural law and the positive-law deductions made from it. His method resulted in the construction of one of the great philosophical systems, of which his legal theory forms an integral part; but that system was never expounded in any unified form and must be put together from many papers and letters.
