The book "Criminal Law Philosophy" is the famous work of Professor Chen Xingliang, a famous contemporary criminal law scholar. It was first published in 1992. At that time, it was facing competition and challenges from other departments of law. What was the purpose of criminal law and what was the way out? This is a question that every scholar interested in criminal law research needs to reflect deeply on. In this regard, the author at that time came to the conclusion that it would break through the existing criminal law theory from system to content and complete the transformation from explanatory criminal law to theoretical criminal law. This book is written based on the theoretical research results of criminal law in my country in the 1980s. Based on all available domestic and foreign materials at that time, the author constructed the basic framework of the criminal law system of this book - "the central theory of the relationship between crime and punishment". The author believes that the criminal law philosophy system has a certain degree of originality, reflecting the author's unique insights into criminal law philosophy. As a theory, criminal law philosophy is not unique. Each criminal law philosophy can have its own system. Only in this way can the development of criminal law be promoted and deepened. The criminal law philosophy system of "crime-punishment relationship center theory" outlined by the author of this book contains a total of 15 categories, as shown in the diagram in the introduction of the book. The dialectical relationship among them covers the basic issues of criminal law, which is the logical system of this book. As the author said, "Criminal Law Philosophy" is a starting point for academic research on criminal law for himself. For my country's criminal law, it is also a node that cannot be bypassed in the academic development process. This is the significance of the academic history of this book and the value of publishing this book as the fifth edition.
