When Korea emerged as a newly independent nation in 1948, its economy was in a state of profound underdevelopment, and the rule of law was just beginning to take root. The path toward democratization in Korea was fraught with numerous challenges. This book chronicles the evolution of legal philosophy in Korea and emphasizes the country's distinctive experience. This work demonstrates how Western legal philosophy has been embraced in Korea, a non-Western nation that has recently introduced the Western legal system, and the role that legal philosophy has played in the broader social context.
The book also delves into the intellectual endeavors of academic scholars within a historical context, exploring how their intellectual products have been shaped through their ongoing response to the prevailing circumstances of the time. It specifically examines the formidable challenges that legal philosophers faced in a society where the rule of law and democracy were yet to establish firm roots. The book explores how Korean legal philosophers navigated through such unique historical situations. It also showcases how Korean scholars embraced German and Anglo-American legal philosophies and integrated them to bring about transformative changes in Korean society.
Through Korea's experience, this book offers valuable insights into how modern legal philosophy develops in a new state and the responses that legal philosophers might adopt during such a process. The development of legal philosophy in Korean society will hold interest not only to readers in countries that have shared similar experiences but also to readers in the West.
