Abstract
Dr. Musa Javan was one of the important legal theorists in the history of Iran, who made significant contributions to Iranian legal theories. In his book Foundations of Law, he introduced Western legal theories to Iranian society and tried to theorize an Iranian modern legal theory. Considering such importance, this article examined the significance of Javan’s legal theories and highlighted the necessity of Reviving his legal theoretical legacy. The primary question of this study is: What is the importance of Javan’s legal theories and why should be revived? According to this article, due to the ongoing theoretical crisis in Iranian public law, it is essential to analyze and review the academic views of legal theorists like Javan. Among Iranian theorists, Javan’s legal theoretical legacy holds particular methodological and academic significance. Regardless of its importance, the legal-theoretical contributions of this Iranian thinker have been forgotten, and no one has explored them. This article is theoretical research and has been written using the “Legal Doctrinal Research Method”.
