Features: This book adheres to the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts. Based on 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 format. It abandons the traditional approach of starting with abstract legal concepts and adopts a format that progresses from the concrete to the abstract, from the static to the dynamic. It begins with the ontology of law, moves to the metaphysics of law, then discusses the operation of law, and finally addresses the macro development of law. The content of the book covers the knowledge 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 from Western jurisprudence. The book treats traditional jurisprudence as follows: it first provides a brief overview, then offers an evaluation, and finally presents the author's conclusions. For the complex logical reasoning in the book, beginners can ignore it and leave it to interested researchers to critique.
