Summary/Abstract: The author of this paper deals with the basic causes of numerous – often extremely negatively intoned – critical estimations said on the account of Kelson's pure theory of law and exposes essential propreties of certain phases of its development; point to the contribution of Merkl and Verdross to the making of pure theory of law and to the main determinants of Kelsen's attempts to formalize jurisprudence (the science of law) for the purpose of creating conditions for exact and objective study of positive law; analyzes the meaning and scope of Kelsen's normativisms and provides his views of further making of the pure theory of law.
