ki developed psychological theory of law. Petraycki’s theory had
a substantial influence on the formation of original, apart from the
American and Scandinavian legal realism, version of legal realism.
Petraycki’s theory is based on his concept of legal emotions which
he regarded as belonging to the wider class of ethical emotions. Ini-
tially, the author analyses Petraycki’s and his followers approach,
which centers around the idea that legal emotions are both mystic
and authoritative and to some extent they are perceived as internal
restrictions of our freedom. Particular attention is paid to the analysis
of the authoritative nature of legal emotions. The author offers an
interpretation of the authoritativeness of legal emotions within legal
realism. The author postulates that this term should be interpreted as
resulting from mental processes associated with experiencing emo-
tions, i.a.(inter alia) intuitive reasoning. In the second part, the author
analyses the approach proposed by John Finnis, who holds that legal
emotions have the authoritativeness of truth. In the final section, the
author discusses the most recent research in the field of legal philoso-
phy, including results of cognitive neuroscience relevant to emotions
and intuitive reasoning.

Resumen
Se examina la teoría realista del derecho de Leon Petraycki y las
críticas iusnaturalistas de John Finnis al concepto de emociones jurí-
dicas. A principios del siglo xx, Leon Petraycki desarrolló la teoría
psicológica del derecho. La teoría de Petraycki tuvo una influencia
sustancial en la formación de la versión original del realismo jurí-
dico, aparte del realismo jurídico estadounidense y escandinavo. La
teoría de Petraycki se basa en su concepto de emociones jurídicas,
que consideraba pertenecientes a una clase más amplia de emociones
éticas. Inicialmente, se analiza el enfoque de Petraycki y sus segui-
dores, que se centra en la idea de que las emociones jurídicas son a la
vez místicas y autoritarias y, en cierta medida, se perciben como res-
tricciones internas de nuestra libertad. Se presta especial atención al
análisis del carácter autoritativo de las emociones jurídicas. El autor
ofrece una interpretación de la autoridad de las emociones jurídicas
