Who is considered as the founder of the "Uppsala school" of the modern Scandinavian realist movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Axel Hagerstrom (1868-1939), professor of philosophy at Uppsala, founded the Uppsala school, whose rejection of metaphysics underlies Scandinavian legal realism. His followers Vilhelm Lundstedt and Karl Olivecrona developed his ideas, and Alf Ross of Copenhagen later gave them their best-known form, so they are disciples rather than the founder.
