Abstract
The evolution of legal philosophy in Sweden in the first half of the 20th century basically coincides with the history of the so-called Uppsala School, which will be treated extensively in Tome 2 of this volume, in the part devoted to legal realism. Here I will be dealing with Swedish legal philosophy after that period, from the early 1940s onward, when the hitherto dominant influence of the philosophy advanced by the Uppsala school was definitely on the decline.
I would like to express my warm thanks to Professor Åke Frändberg, of Uppsala University, for his valuable advice on the structure and content of this contribution. I am further indebted to Assistant Professor Christoffer Wong, of Lund University, for many clarifying and stimulating discussions.
