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 School of Law at China University of Political Science and Law. This book is the most famous part of the writings of the renowned German legal scholar Radbruch. The works of Radbruch written shortly before and after his death are the postscript to this book. The book includes 14 essays by Radbruch, covering various aspects of socialist culture. The insights on these issues represent the culmination of Radbruch'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 Radbruch's legal philosophical thought in China is generally aimed at democratization and legal reform that upholds human rights, rarely touching upon the "philosophical current events of law" that Radbruch was concerned about in his later years. Yet, this is precisely the culmination of Radbruch'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, Radbruch's "free socialism" thought is an immortal blueprint for the direction of world socialism.
