WHAT DOES JURISPRUDENCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

jurisprudence

Jurisprudence

Jurisprudence is the study and theory of law. Scholars in jurisprudence, also known as legal theorists, hope to obtain a deeper understanding of the nature of law, of legal reasoning, legal systems and of legal institutions. Modern jurisprudence began in the 18th century and was focused on the first principles of the natural law, civil law, and the law of nations. General jurisprudence can be broken into categories both by the type of question scholars seek to answer and by the theories of jurisprudence, or schools of thought, regarding how those questions are best answered. Contemporary philosophy of law, which deals with general jurisprudence, addresses problems in two rough groups: ▪ Problems internal to law and legal systems as such. ▪ Problems of law as a particular social institution as it relates to the larger political and social situation in which it exists. Answers to these questions come from four primary schools of thought in general jurisprudence: ▪ Natural law is the idea that there are rational objective limits to the power of legislative rulers.

Definition of jurisprudence in the English dictionary
