This chapter summarizes the findings on theoretical frameworks of comparative legal history to pave the way for future research. We will first summarize the concepts of “rule-based law” and “public opinion-oriented law” and their connection to the respective social images. We will then explore the significant differences between “rule-based law” and “public opinion-oriented law” in the role of written laws, the relationship between social regularity and public authority, and the nature of contract society. Finally, we will propose two exciting research directions: Exploring forms of law beyond those presented in this book and further examining the relationship between traditional law and Modern Law. They offer ample opportunities for future scholarly exploration.

摘要

This chapter summarizes the findings on theoretical frameworks of comparative legal history to pave the way for future research. We will first summarize the concepts of “rule-based law” and “public opinion-oriented law” and their connection to the respective social images. We will then explore the significant differences between “rule-based law” and “public opinion-oriented law” in the role of written laws, the relationship between social regularity and public authority, and the nature of contract society. Finally, we will propose two exciting research directions: Exploring forms of law beyond those presented in this book and further examining the relationship between traditional law and Modern Law. They offer ample opportunities for future scholarly exploration.
