LAWS C236 - Comparative Law: Chinese

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

LAWS - Law School

Description:

This course will examine the foundations of the Chinese legal system and its political-social theory. It will examine the foundations of this system as it unfolds in Chinese classical thought (Confucius, et al) up to and including the present day. Throughout the course, comparisons with the values, thought, and jurisprudence of the Western world will be drawn. The course will utilize the comparative cultural perspective to demonstrate that a legal system is not disconnected from the modes of knowing, the language, and the philosophy of a culture. While East is East and West is West, the two have already met and this encounter is likely to determine the shape of the 21st century.
