Five Kingdoms of Life: Characteristics and Classification

Suspensive Conditions in Contract Law: Impact and Stages

The author discards the first studies of Kant, which were rationalist. Throughout continental Europe, theories of knowledge are rationalism and empiricism. Discarding rationalism remains in effect.
