ABSTRACT

As the cornerstone of social order, the essence and value of law have always been the core topics of legal philosophy exploration. From the perspective of legal philosophy, this article aims to deeply analyze the essence of law and explore its intrinsic value. By sorting out the ideological framework of Chinese and Western legal philosophy, combined with the contemporary social background, this article will reveal that law is not only the condensation of social consensus and moral values. At the same time, this article will emphasize the important value of law in maintaining social order, safeguarding human rights, and promoting fairness and justice, providing a new perspective for a deeper understanding of the essence and value of law.
