We will investigate both positive theory and normative theory of law by reading and reinterpreting the crucial texts of ancient Chinese thinkers. We shall treat these ancient thinkers as our contemporaries who make fundamental claims about the most crucial questions in moral, political and legal philosophy at our time and reinterpret them in a sympathetic as well as critical way. To accomplish this goal, we will inevitably compare their claims and arguments with those of contemporary Western philosophers (in Anglo-American tradition generally). The style of the course will be analytical as well as comparative. 四、预备知识或先修课程要求无五、教学目的与要求（不少于200字）教学目的： 1、培养学生对中国古代思想文本的文本细读和批判性阅读的能力； 2、让学生熟悉并能够运用当代法理学的分析方法来处理古代法律思想； 3、有能力重构古典思想家的论证思路，并在此基础上做进一步的批判性处理。最终目标是目标在于训练学生的批判性阅读能力，把握法理学中基本主题，并最终对中国古典法律文化有充分的理解。教学要求： 1、提前阅读一二手文献并积极参与课堂讨论； 2、对中国古典文献中的法律思想有足够知识上的把握； 3、能够运用上述知识来分析当代的问题。六、教材或讲义讲义：Chinese Jurisprudence by Wejen Chang 七、参考书目 Eno, Robert.

The philosophical approach takes the validity of the claims and the soundness of the arguments as the most central questions we need to evaluative when we read classical texts. A tool set of critical reading will also be introduced that might include the Principle of Charity (of Donald Davidson) and the distinction of Concept and Conception (of Ronald Dworkin). 2 Confucian Virtue Ethics Confucian moral philosophy is a version of virtue ethics. It has two crucial virtues that are Ren (humanity) and Yi (righteousness). The basic content of the concept of Ren and Yi and its relationship to Li (social norms) will be discussed. It show us the general positions Confucian thinkers take in these fundamental debates in moral philosophy between, for example, emotion v.s. reason and character v.s. rule. 3 Mencian Theory of Human Nature and its Normative Implication Mecncius' theory of human nature represents a Naturalistic moral theory that see ethics as the continuance of the biology. In its legal form, it claims that the state should take perfection of citizens as its goal and facilitate moral development with the support of legal framework. The state should protect its citizen from bad moral luck by legal means and help them to preserve their fragile condition of moral development and practice. 4 Moral Conflicts and the Role of Law The tolerating and concealing between kinfolks is a representative character of Ancient Chinese legal system. Mencius also discussed this topic in three famous cases. This legal arrangement shows what law could do to handle the complex moral dilemmas or conflicts. It shows that law could do more than just serves as authoritative and second-order verdicts for practical reasoning as Raz claims. 5 Correcting Names and Thick Legal Concepts A philosophical inquiry into the nature of Confucian theory of Name will be made and Name will be interpreted as a kind of thick evaluative concept (Bernard Williams). Based on the reading that Zhengming is a doctrine concerning the guidance function of legal rules, a critique will be advanced towards some of the doctrinal theorist’s mechanical method with regard to applying legal concepts. 6 Dong Zhongshu's Particularist Theory of Rule Application Drawing insights from Jonathan Dancy's moral particularism and Dong Zhongshu’s method of “adjudication according to the moral classics,” we will discuss a holistic balancing theory of legal reasons. With this in place, two dogmas of legal formalism will be criticised. 7 Virtue Theory of Adjudication Two general approaches in legal epistemology, virtue reliablism and procedural reliablism will be introduced.These two positions, though seemingly incompatible, are mutually supportive and could be reconciled with each other. After a comparison between two conceptions of justice behind the ideas of “rule of man” and “rule of law,” the Confucian account of Li and Yi sheds lights on our understanding of the virtue of justice and provides a way to justify the centrality of judicial virtues in legal adjudication. In this account, the virtue of justice as lawfulness, owned or should be owned by judges, justifies legal decisions. According to this aretaic notion of justice, a correct or justified decision in legal adjudication is a decision made by a virtuous judge or would be characteristically made by a virtuous judge. 8 A Confucian Theory of Constitution? Zhang Qianfan provides a Confucian account of basic constitutional rights and a Confucian theory of human dignity. We will critically analyses his account and compare it with constitutional theories of Jeremy Waldron. 5
