Law, Philosophy and National Socialism investigates the nexus between the philosophy and the reality of law in National Socialist Germany. What was the nature of law in Hitler's Germany? Was there a National Socialist jurisprudence? Concentrating upon a particular study of the philosophies of Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt and Gustav Radbruch, the book develops the thesis that the reality of National Socialist law was an expression of a specifically Heideggerian jurisprudence and moreover that the consequences of such a reality represent the potential consequences of any such jurisprudence.
