Abstract
Following the Simmelian tradition of social geometry, this essay proposes an analytical framework for understanding the legal system's social forms. It analyzes the basic social forms of the contemporary Chinese legal system in terms of its social structure, operational mode, ideological conflict, and cultural essence. This analytical framework fully recognizes the contradictions and conflicts inherent to the legal system, and it adopts a perspective of social interaction rather than social integration to examine its structure and change. The essay is both an empirical analysis of the social forms of Chinese law and an effort of theoretical innovation for the sociology of law.
