Deng Zhenglaijevo iskalnje "idealne podobe" ali paradigmatska kriza kitajske pravne znanosti? Raszprava z vidika diskurza pravne kulture na pragu 21. stoletja

In the first decade of the 21st century, the author of a book entitled „Wither Chinese Jurisprudence“ stepped forward to question the unquestioned and undertheorized orientation of Chinese legal science towards modernity. Widely and critically discussed, Deng Zhenglais appeal for a new ideal picture of Chinese law based on a reinterpretation and new understanding of China herself can be seen both as a seizure in and outcome of the many discussions on law and culture that had started off in the first decade of reform and opening and were continued in the times of a “Socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics”. The following text shows that the issue of an identity of Chinese legal scholars was an inherent part of to the discourse on Chinese legal culture and that Dengs book has to be understood in this context.
