Features: This book follows the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts. On the basis of a systematic review of traditional jurisprudence, it engages in self-reflection within the discipline, seeking a scientific and rational jurisprudence that aligns with the trend of globalization and serves the market economy and the rule of law. For beginners, the book makes a new attempt in its structure. It abandons the traditional approach of starting with abstract legal concepts and adopts a structure that moves from the concrete to the abstract, from static to dynamic. It begins with the theory of the existence of law, then moves to the metaphysics of law, followed by the operation of law, and finally discusses the macro development of law. The content of the book covers the key points specified in the "Teaching Guide for Jurisprudence" issued by the State Education Commission, while also incorporating new achievements in jurisprudence research in China in recent years and classic topics in Western jurisprudence. The treatment of traditional jurisprudence in this book is as follows: it first provides a brief overview, then offers an evaluation, and finally presents the author's conclusions. For beginners, the complex logical reasoning processes in the book can be ignored, leaving them for researchers with an interest in criticism.
