Hotly disputed is the question whether Radbruch was a legal positivist before 1933 and executed an about-face in his thinking due to the advent of Nazism, or whether he continued to develop, under the impression of Nazi crimes, the relativistic values-teaching he had already been advocating before 1933.
争论激烈的是拉德布鲁赫是否在1933年前是法律实证主义者并因为纳粹的崛起而对他的思想做出了大转变，或者他是否继续发展的问题，在纳粹暴行的印象之下，他在1933年前就已经提出了相对论性的价值观教育。
