Law as a research (five worlds of law)
Aleksander Mereżko
The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin , PolandAbstract
The article is about “law” localization. Localizing the law and the subject of this field of science is necessary to confirm that law is a research. According to Popper the universe can be divided into three “worlds” and law can be found in every of these “worlds”. Whereas a scientific definition of law presented in the article concerns five “worlds”. To three Popper’s “worlds” (physics of law, semiotics of law, psychology of law) two other “worlds” can be added: sociology of law and metaphysics of law (aspiring to ideal of law – justice).
