When Korea began as a newly independent state in 1948, its economy
was very underdeveloped and the rule of law was just established.
The journey of democratization in Korea was not without challenges.
This book traces the history of the legal philosophy development in
Korea and highlights Korea's unique experience. This book shows how
Western legal philosophy has been accepted in Korea, a non-Western
country that has newly introduced the Western legal system and what
role the legal philosophy has played in social context. The book
also examines academic scholars' intellectual activities in a
historical context and how their intellectual products are yielded
through their continuous response to the circumstances of the time.
It specifically looks at the many challenging tasks legal
philosophers had to overcome in a society when the rule of law and
democracy had not yet settled. The book explores how Korean legal
philosophers coped during such unique historical situations. It
also illustrates how Korean scholars accepted German and
Anglo-American legal philosophies and integrated them to change
social realities of Korea. Through Korea's experience, this book
will provide insights into how modern legal philosophy develops in
a new state and what legal philosophers' responses would be like
during such a process. The developing process of legal philosophy
in Korean society will interest not only readers in countries who
have had similar experiences to Korea, but also readers in the
West.
