Features: This book is one of the series of Contemporary German Legal Classics. It was translated by Professor Mi Jian, Dean of the China-Germany Law School at China University of Political Science and Law. This book is the most famous part of the writings of the renowned German jurist Rudolf von Jhering. The postscript of this book is Rudolf von Jhering's work written shortly before and after his death. The book includes 14 essays by Rudolf von Jhering, covering various aspects of socialist culture. The insights on these issues represent the culmination of Rudolf von Jhering's legal philosophical thought. The book is profound in thought, elegant in language, and powerful in argumentation, fully reflecting the author's firm and deep understanding of socialism. The study of Rudolf von Jhering's legal philosophical thought in China is generally aimed at legal reforms promoting democratization and human rights, rarely touching upon the "philosophical topical issues of law" that Rudolf von Jhering was concerned about in his later years. Yet, this is precisely the culmination of Rudolf von Jhering's legal philosophical thought, holding certain practical significance for human rights, the rule of law, party construction, and the construction of legal globalization under China's socialist conditions. Among them, Rudolf von Jhering's idea of "free socialism" is an immortal blueprint for the direction of world socialism.
