Content Summary
This book is a critical reading of Anglo-American jurisprudence in the 20th century. Critical reading is an interactive dialogue between the "reader" and the "text," and it is also a way for the "reader" to express their own demands during the interpretation process. As the "reader," the author of this book, and as the "text," 20th-century Anglo-American jurisprudence, achieve a comprehensible "contextual integration" in new methods and concepts. These methods and concepts reveal the reasons and justifications for jurisprudential arguments, allowing different theoretical motivations to be presented and exchanged. Within this, a logical progression is established, centered around key issues, enabling other readers to "understand the 'why' behind it" and engage in deeper reflection.
What is particularly important is that these methods and concepts attempt to introduce doubt into the conventional discourse, prompting people to reflect on and examine existing doctrines, thereby opening up a possible new line of thought and a potential new context.
