Summary/Abstract: Professor Vracar's book, Social Contents of the Function of the State and Legal System, subtitled ,,Considerations of the Role of the State and Law in the Process of Political Constitution of Society‘‘, includes extremely complex issues regarding the state and law, reflected in the state and legal system in which they are integrated, and particularly those issues that still remain valid and inspiring nowadays. It is a result of the author's years of diligent work, during which numerous dilemmas and contradictions, abundant in the philosophy and theory of law more than in other fields, have been clarified. Professor Vracar's thought can be synthesized as the state and legal integralism. It is inspired by a wish to start from reality, and to bravely confront that reality with the attained scientific results. It is, thus, personally pure and scientifically genuine. Hence the development of a completely original concept in the book becomes totally understandable only in the light of the fact that the issues considered there were then, and still remain a ,,battlefield‘‘ of his personal and our many-sided social life. Professor Vracar's thought of the unity of the state and legal system, as a central topic of his original integral state and legal theory, has proved to be fully viable , stable and lasting, as it has not experienced the destiny of some other ,,ideological ephemeras‘‘. This has been an outcome of his personal righteousness, scientific inspiration and literal skillfulness. The book Social Contents of the Function of the State and Legal System has become a reference of a well erected building still looking the same as at the very beginning. This is why it is a particularly valuable contribution to our science of law. Due to it, and all other significant works of his, Professor Stevan Vracar, Ph.D., has joined those few outstanding scholars indispensable for our legal thought to be properly followed and understood.
