The book begins with an introduction, providing an overview and hints on the hot issues faced by the study of commercial law. The main body of the book is divided into three parts—upper, middle, and lower—each conducting a rather profound theoretical exploration on the fundamental issues of the value, origin, and ontology of commercial law.
Regarding the value of commercial law, the book delves deeply into the motivation and value of fundamental theoretical research in commercial law, the independence of commercial law, and the contemporary value of Chinese commercial law, offering a thorough reflection and summary that allows readers to intuitively grasp the current state and mission of Chinese commercial law research.
In terms of the historical development of commercial law, the book aims to provide a more comprehensive yet not exhaustive introduction and exploration. Regarding the etymology and meaning of commercial law, commercial subjects, commercial personality rights, commercial acts, and the exemplary legal effect of commercial judgments, the book adopts a relatively detached stance from traditional commercial law systems and theories, offering in-depth institutional interpretations and theoretical reconstructions of the connotations of these issues. This highlights the theoretical value of these fundamental yet core issues, which are often overlooked by the commercial law academic community.
