Rationalism Law Construct And Its Critics

The extreme rationalism derived from the classical one. As one piece of the corner stone of the civic society, rationality plays a crucial role in establishing the modern legal system. Important is not the only. However, using the law to guide all aspects of the social life is unrealistic and will possibly lead to an elite society in which judgments are always made by elites rather than ordinary people, using rational principles which are sometimes too far away from the reallife. Consequently, freedom will be eroded. In respect of the rationality as well as human nature, the ideology of extreme rationalism should be avoided during constructing our legal system.
