Features: This textbook is part of the optional course series for 21st-century law textbooks. It systematically elaborates on the three major mainstream schools of Western jurisprudence—revived natural law, analytical jurisprudence, and sociological jurisprudence—and provides detailed introductions to the works and main ideas of the representative figures of each school. In addition, the author selects and introduces some distinctive and methodologically significant schools of modern Western jurisprudence, such as syncretic jurisprudence, historical jurisprudence, new liberalism, and economic analysis jurisprudence. Especially considering the development trend of postmodernist jurisprudence, the author summarizes and discusses postmodernist jurisprudence in a certain amount of space, based on absorbing the latest research findings in academia.
