What is jurisprudence?

Jurisprudence is a subject that takes the development law of the whole legal phenomenon and the same-sex problem as the research object. Its research scope is very extensive, mainly including the origin, development and extinction of law, the essence and function of law, the relationship between law and other social phenomena, the creation and realization of law, the value of law and so on.

Broadly speaking, jurisprudence can be defined as the wisdom of law or the understanding of the nature and context of "legal cause". The root of jurisprudence should be "juris", that is, law or right.

Another root "prudence" refers to wisdom. Therefore, jurisprudence may be a knowledge of seeking legal wisdom or a wise understanding of law. According to Fuller's legal motto "the cause that makes people's behavior obey ownership governance" and the usage of Beyleveled and Brownsword, we can get the term "legal cause".
