Features: In this book, Professor Sun provides an in-depth analysis of how law coordinates social disputes in diverse societies and conducts a meticulous examination of how law functions in a pragmatic manner. This demonstrates that judges must avoid broad and abstract reasoning to arrive at feasible and practical solutions. In the author's view, critics and opponents who do not share fundamental concepts often readily accept the specific details of particular judgments. Furthermore, the author considers untheorized agreements as a core feature of legal reasoning, particularly as a central element in constitutional thinking in countries such as the United States, South Africa, and Eastern Europe. Additionally, he argues that truly determining law is a matter of the life practices of a nation's citizens. To facilitate readers in reading, searching for the original text, and better understanding the terminology in the text, the index has been translated into Chinese and included at the end of the book in a bilingual format.
