Features: As a core textbook for law schools in higher political and legal institutions, "Jurisprudence" has been well-received by students since its publication in 1999. This revision is based on the 2002 edition, maintaining the original features and chapter structure. The original authors were invited to revise their respective parts, incorporating current social changes, the needs of rule of law development, and the latest research findings. Special attention has been paid to adding recent important research results in the notes section. In terms of format, the revision emphasizes the inclusion of learning objectives and requirements at the beginning of each chapter, guiding students to focus on key concepts or challenging content. Thought-provoking questions are provided at the end of each chapter to review and summarize the material. Additionally, recommended reading lists are included to help students expand their knowledge and further grasp fundamental theories and perspectives. It is hoped that this revision will provide greater convenience for jurisprudence teaching. We are living in a great era of reform, where various ideologies and theories emerge alongside great practices. As a foundational course and theoretical discipline, jurisprudence is particularly sensitive to changes in the times. Although we strive to better reflect the needs and developments of the present in this revision, due to limitations in our expertise and the profound transformations of the era, omissions and errors are inevitable. We welcome readers' criticism and suggestions! At the same time, during the teaching and learning process, we encourage instructors and students to fully utilize the basic principles in this textbook, as well as the notes and reference sections, to broaden their horizons, read widely, think deeply, and thereby enhance their theoretical cultivation.
