Abstract

This essay amounts to a tour through major locales associated with the development of law, from Hammurabi’s Babylon and Moses’ Mount Sinai to Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, by way of Greece (Gortyn), Rome, Iceland (Thingvellir), Germany (Burg Falkenstein), and England (Runnymede). It exemplifies the point that law is not simply a written document but a living entity inspired by time and place.

法律场所的魅力

摘要

这篇文章相当于参观了与法律发展相关的主要地区，从汉谟拉比的巴比伦和摩西的西奈山到费城的独立厅，途经希腊 (Gortyn)、罗马、冰岛 (Thingvellir)、德国 (Burg Falkenstein)、和英格兰 (Runnymede)。它体现了这样一个观点，即法律不仅仅是一份书面文件，而是一个受时间和地点启发的生物。
