Chinese legalism  

Définition

  • “Legalism” is the conventional translation of the Chinese fajia (school of law), referring to a tradition of thought and practice that regards law as the principal instrument of governance. Although traces of this school can be found in writings dating to the seventh century BCE, it emerged as an influential body of thought in the fourth and third centuries BCE and came to be associated with the rise of the Chinese imperial state during the Qin and Han dynasties.
