Features: This book is based on the same-titled work self-published by Mr. Cai Shu-heng in 1927, supplemented with important essays on related topics by him, compiled into one volume. The author's writings on legal theory throughout his life are largely covered here. Throughout the book, the author combines a historical-cultural perspective on law with empirical analysis of specific legal systems, seeking to prove the fundamental principles of modern law in the exploration of China's path toward constitutionalism and democracy. It includes both abstract interpretations of the general concept of law and more discussions based on specific legal systems, with a particular focus on criminal law. This book is suitable for legal researchers and law students to read. It also holds reference value for legal practitioners such as judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and government legal officials, as well as individuals from other disciplines who are interested in law.
