Features: In modern society, terms like "legal society" and "rule of law state" are already familiar. However, where does law actually come from? How does the evolution of law proceed? What role has law played in human society? This book attempts to answer these questions. With his profound expertise in law and history, the author explores the origins and evolution of "law" by comparing major civilizations, delves into the complex historical facts, and elucidates the relationship between law and various social aspects such as politics, economy, and religion. The timely publication of this book gives us reason to believe that Weber's incisive insights into the relationship between humans and law, along with his profound theoretical explanations, will be of significance to China's rule-of-law development.
