(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2002) Kaczmarczyk, Michał
The article deals with the sociological theory of property, which belongs to the domain of
sociology of law. The author mentions both classic and contemporary sources from the continental
and Anglo-American legal tradition. The presented notion is based primarily upon Max Weber’s
methodological assumptions and some of its newer interpretations as well as upon the theories of
property by Niklas Luhmann, Jeremy Waldron, and Bruce Ackerman. The general theory o f legitimacy
has been borrowed from Jurgen Habermas’ works.
