The presented thesis concerns analysis of theories related to distinguishing between private law and public law due to the T.S. Kuhn paradigms. Throughout the ages, legal scholars have been interested in the duality of public and private law. In presented lecture the following paradigms will be set out: the paradigm which enables us to assign separate legal institutions to public law or private law through classification method; the paradigm which denies the need to make a distinction between public law and private law; the paradigm which enables us to assign separate legal institutions to public law or private law through typology method.
