Features: If it is true that contract law largely contains norms for merchants' behavior, then tort law carries the principles that the general public must follow in their activities at every moment. The soul of contract law lies in the autonomous will of the parties, so it is possible for people to utilize or avoid it through the design of contracts. In contrast, the scope of tort law permeates every corner of people's lives, making it impossible to evade; we can only approach it, familiarize ourselves with it, and proceed along the path it guides. China's tort law is in the process of gestation. Let us inject genes that can adapt to our time and pay attention to every step of its growth. This book includes 18 comparative tort law essays, covering both common law and civil law content. The distinctive feature of this book is that the articles are written using foreign hand materials, making them new, even entirely new, to some extent, for Chinese readers. These elements will inject new reasoning elements into the information base of Chinese scholars studying tort law. These elements may be challenging because they might completely disrupt the frameworks built after long-term efforts, forcing us to reconceive a more perfect system.
