Czy Leon Petrażycki był prekursorem behawioralnej ekonomicznej analizy prawa?

The goal of the paper is to illustrate how the scientific legal policy developed by Leon Petrażycki can be used in order to discuss and modify the methodology of behavioral analysis of law. The author will compare the goals of Petrażycki’s scientific legal policy with those of behavioral analysis of law. Arguably, Petrażycki proposed a more sophisticated and accurate concept of legal policy, as well as a more precise description of its aims than behavioral analysis of law. The Petrażycki’s theory enables us to propose general goals for behavioral analysis and, at the same time, make the method more effective and dependent on a given social, legal and cultural environment.
