Features: This textbook primarily addresses introductory issues in law. Its main feature lies in the fact that the textbook's development is based on the reform of traditional foundational theory teaching in law. The Department of Jurisprudence at Southwest University of Political Science and Law began this teaching reform in 1996, transforming the single course of "Foundational Theory of Law" or "Jurisprudence" into two separate courses and teaching models: "Introduction to Law" and "Jurisprudence." "Introduction to Law" explains the fundamental theories and categories of law to undergraduate students who are new to the field before other law courses are offered. This reform was awarded the First Prize for Teaching Reform Achievements by the Chongqing Municipal People's Government, and "Introduction to Law" was included in the unified college liberal arts textbook series in 1997 and 1998. Since the textbook was first published in December 1997, it has undergone three revisions. This edition is the fourth version of the textbook. The fourth edition of this textbook has undergone significant revisions based on the third edition. The revision of the textbook content is partly due to the development of understanding and theory, where the political and class connotations in the basic concepts and theories of law have gradually been weakened, emphasizing the theoretical and academic nature of legal theory. On the other hand, the revision of this textbook also stems from the authors' stringent demands for textbook quality and the teaching and nurturing process itself. The textbook has been adjusted in terms of theoretical key points and content in relevant chapters. The authors hope that through the revision of the textbook, it will become increasingly perfect.
