cjal-3122	Turner, Karen	Rule of Law Ideals in Early China?	1992	44	.pdf	application/pdf	19978	715	53	For a standard description of law in China, see CHARLES HUCKER, CHINA'S IMPERIAL PAST 163 (1975) (Chinese law was always merely an instrument of government; it was not thought to have divine sanction, nor was it considered an inviolable constitution.); ViTALY RumnN, INDIVIDUAL AND STATE IN ANCIENT CHINA: ESSAYS ON FOUR CHINESE PHILOSOPHERS 70 (1976) On the positive side, I think that a familiarity with some of the vast literature generated in the West on the problem of mitigating the Rule of Law with the discretionary judgment of moral men allows students of Chinese law to engage in questions of universal concern.	cache/cjal-3122.pdf	txt/cjal-3122.txt
