Work
During World War I, Kraus worked on topics in relation to war and ethics and wrote important works in the field of Public international law.
Influenced by Brentano, Kraus developed an apriori value theory, which was formulated in opposition to marxistic value theory. He also applied this method on economics,
Based on his ideas on law and duty he developed a juristic hermeneutics in the field of Jurisprudence, and criticized historism and positivism.
Kraus was also known for his criticism of the theory of relativity, which was according to him an accumulation of "absurdities" (like the constancy of the speed of light) and "mathematical fictions".

“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The legend of Felix is ended, the toiling of Felix is done;
The Master has paid him his wages, the goal of his journey is won;
He rests, but he never is idle; a thousand years pass like a day,
In the glad surprise of Paradise where work is sweeter than play.”
—Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
