'Quid Jus?' And 'Quid Juris'

The jurisprudence, also known as philosophy of law, traces its origins to the early 19th century when Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a seminal German philosopher, introduced his influential work, "Elements of the Philosophy of Right" in 1821 and, shortly after, the English philosopher John Austin contributed to the discourse with his publication, "The Province of Jurisprudence Determined," in 1832.

Despite such beginnings, the roots of jurisprudence extend back to ancient times. Greek philosophers, notably Aristotle, had already engaged in deep reflections on the nature of law, leaving a legacy that continues to be a subject of study in contemporary jurisprudence.
