Having been baptized a Protestant, he entered the Greek Orthodox church shortly before 1933, and, in 1945, became a Roman Catholic. In 1938 Tomberg emigrated to the Netherlands and began actively to lecture on Christological topics. At the beginning of 1944 he moved to Cologne, where he was awarded the title of Doctor of Law for the dissertation here published in English for the first time. This dissertation marked an important turning-point in Tomberg's life: humanistic studies he had presented during his thirties are now replaced by a strict orientation towards a Platonic model of knowledge, and a medieval, so-called \"realism of universals.\" Tomberg came to regard the modern path \u003cem\u003eaway\u003c\/em\u003e from natural law (founded upon religion) and \u003cem\u003etoward\u003c\/em\u003e legal positivism (oriented toward power) as a dismantling of the different levels of law (and at the same time a loss of both the \u003cem\u003eidea\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eideal\u003c\/em\u003e of law)-that is, as a process of degeneration or \"fall,\" which he seeks to reverse in the direction of regeneration. He also proposes a new way of organizing the academic study of law, in which the higher levels of law would be included, and in which access to the \u003cem\u003eidea\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eideal\u003c\/em\u003e of law would be restored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 03, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42728704639039,"sku":"9781621386872","price":25.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/e30f8822937e8d3453d4c7db40c02991.webp?v=1765119487","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/the-art-of-the-good-on-the-regeneration-of-fallen-justice-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
