Marksizm-leninizm a cybernetyka prawa w PRL. Zarys problematyki

Abstract

During the existence of the Polish People’s Republic (1944–1989), the dominant ideology was that of Marxism-Leninism. It wielded strong influence on the official world-view. The ideology aspired to explain, in reality, all phenomena and processes. However, within a short period of time it became apparent that Marxism-Leninism had its weaknesses, for example, developing the sciences was conditional upon their non-interference with the objects of Marxism-Leninism. One such science that fell in this arena was the cybernetics of law. Hence, the purpose of this article is to give a short presentation of general assumptions and relation between the cybernetics of law and Marxism-Leninism during the period of “real socialism” in the Polish People’s Republic.
