A universal theory of law cannot be based on Weber's paradigm of the rationality of western law. Abstraction and systématisation of law are compared in western law and traditional Chines codes. Chinese law was not substantively irrational but governed by ethical and status distinctions. Chinese legislators worked with humanistic goals. The empiricism of traditional Chinese law is as valid a form of intellectuality as the deductive rationality of Civil Law and the inductive rationality of Common Law
