Features: When norms—not the expectations of individuals' likes and dislikes—dominate interaction, society is realistic. This book establishes a social concept of normative science, discarding both the practice of equating social procedures with violence and the prevailing view today, which holds that social order stems from isolated individuals' contracts. Readers should be aware from the outset that a definite theory is being presented here, not an introduction to an inherent perspective. Therefore, do not consider this pamphlet an introduction to legal philosophy; as the subheading indicates, it rather presents a pre-philosophy of law, namely an outline with a definite inclination. It does not continue to discuss the emergence of rights—thus, it remains purely in the realm of pre-philosophy.
