Abstract

Abstract The field of comparative law prioritizes the ascertainment of universals or commonalities across laws, two chimerical pursuits. In the process, comparative research abides significant distortion of information, not always in good faith, and a correlative loss of intellectual warrant. This article urges acknowledgment of such serious epistemic deficit, of its detrimental impact on comparative law, and of the need to restore intellectual integrity to comparative research in law through a radically different approach to foreignness.

诡计与伪装:我们所知的比较法

比较法领域优先于确定法律之间的共性或共同性，这是两种空想的追求。在此过程中，比较研究存在着严重的信息失真，并不总是出于善意，以及相关的知识产权的丧失。这篇文章敦促承认这种严重的认识缺陷，它对比较法的有害影响，以及需要通过一种完全不同的方法来恢复法律比较研究的知识完整性。

期刊介绍： The Asian Journal of Comparative Law (AsJCL) is the leading forum for research and discussion of the law and legal systems of Asia. It embraces work that is theoretical, empirical, socio-legal, doctrinal or comparative that relates to one or more Asian legal systems, as well as work that compares one or more Asian legal systems with non-Asian systems. The Journal seeks articles which display an intimate knowledge of Asian legal systems, and thus provide a window into the way they work in practice. The AsJCL is an initiative of the Asian Law Institute (ASLI), an association established by thirteen leading law schools in Asia and with a rapidly expanding membership base across Asia and in other regions around the world.
