On The Formation And Development Of Karl Marx's Jurisprudence

Different thinkers in different times give different answers about what is jurisprudence. On the basis of criticizing and inheriting Hegel' jurisprudence, Karl Marx shaped his own ideas of jurisprudence. This thesis, however, will discuss and study the formation and development of Karl Marx's jurisprudence from three aspects. First, with a view to the history of Marx's jurisprudence, it mainly expatiates the Nature Law of a minority of famous thinkers' such as Plato, Aristotle and Cicero in the period of Greece and Rome, and expatiates the jurisprudence of some great thinkers in modern western history, for instance, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel. Second, it expounds Marx's early jurisprudential thought based on criticizing Hegel's thought and his systematic jurisprudence in the Ideology of German and Italian, the Declaration of Communist Party and Research on the Capital. Third, by dissertating the development of Marx's jurisprudence both in home and overseas, it demonstrates that Marx's jurisprudence is full of highly scientific knowledge and great vitality.
