The authors further argue that Kelsen{\textquoteright}s subsequent articulation and refinement of a legal science of positive law structured Kelsen{\textquoteright}s various critiques of natural law theories, his opposition to the intrusion of ethico-political value judgments in the cognition of positive law, his constitutionalism, his theories of democracy and his conception of the relationship between domestic law and international law. Preparative to an extended and extensive examination, this critical discussion contemplates the contemporary relevance of Kelsenian legal science.",
