family

His father Richard-Friedrich Eichelmann (1884-1919), teacher and mayor of Narva, from a Baltic German family, was a victim of the Estonian War of Independence. The mother's name was Johanna geb. Treufeldt (1885–1957). The mother's brother, the industrialist, politician, newspaper publisher and lawyer Jan Treufeldt, was deported to Siberia in the early 1940s. In 1935 Eichelmann took the Estonian name Tammelo with his mother.

Life

Tammelo attended the Tartu secondary school. He earned the Dr. jur. in Dorpat , did his doctorate in Marburg and completed his habilitation in Heidelberg with Gustav Radbruch and Karl Engisch . After the Second World War he emigrated to Australia, where he last worked as a research professor (reader) at the University of Sydney . Since April 1973 he was full professor at the University of Salzburg . In 1979, Tammelo was elected a foreign member of the Finnish Academy of Sciences and received an honorary doctorate in political science from the University of Bologna and the Franz Böhm Medal from the University of Siegen . The Austrian government honored him with the Cross of Honor for Science and Art, First Class.

Positions

Tammelo emphasizes that the property “just” is not to be found in objects such as “law”, but is attributed to the objects through certain emotional acts. Justice judgments could therefore not claim objectivity. Tammelo states a number of taboo "problems", the "mere mention of which provokes hostile attitudes", such as the "cult of the dead and the epigonism" of the "ideologies prevailing today" against earlier thinkers who "could not foresee the current situation of humanity", the taboo the sanctity of human life, the taboo of ethnic integrity and others. Tammelo was consequently received in the context of a tendency towards enlightenment legal philosophy that opposes the political abuse of taboos as a taboo weapon.
