Features: "Introduction to Jurisprudence" is edited by Professor Shu Guoying of the Jurisprudence Department of China University of Political Science and Law. It serves as a general textbook for undergraduate students and a dedicated study guide for postgraduate entrance exams, with tens of thousands of students adopting it each year. As a foundational discipline in the field of law, jurisprudence is essentially the cornerstone of the grand edifice of legal studies. Although jurisprudence is one branch of law, it studies the common problems and general laws of the entire legal phenomenon and its development. Other legal disciplines, such as constitutional law and civil law, examine the specific issues and particular laws of certain aspects of the legal phenomenon, while jurisprudence conducts a macro-level overall study of legal phenomena. It is clear that, from the perspective of research objects, jurisprudence and other legal disciplines share a relationship of generality and individuality, as well as universality and specificity. For this reason, jurisprudence textbooks focus on comprehensive and macro-level issues such as legal systems, legal frameworks, and legal departments. At the same time, as a complete theoretical system, jurisprudence emphasizes the study of various general questions about law.
