Features: Law is both a system of rules and a system of meaning. Every rule must contain a certain legal principle, embodying a certain moral concern and embodying a deep belief. In a nutshell, it is called the "legal intention," which constitutes the meaning world of the rules and forms the foundation of the legal system. This book collects six Chinese articles on the life, writings, and legal thought of Pound, including thirteen translations and three appendices. The Chinese articles represent the highest research achievements of the Chinese legal academia on Pound's thoughts and life. The translations are mostly taken from the time of the publication of Pound's five-volume "Jurisprudence" and after Pound's death. Although they cannot be called a final conclusion, they can be considered unique and insightful. From them, one can glimpse the image of Pound's thoughts in the eyes of Western legal giants.
