中国历史上的法家,自秦朝灭亡后,已经近乎绝迹。然而,作为指导着第一个统一的多民族的封建王朝的秦朝的统治理念,在后世的学说中却没有留下丝毫的印记。本文从社会历史原因,以及法家同封建意识形态主流文化的对立两个方面来解释法家的兴衰。 The legalists in Chinese history have almost disappeared since the demise of the Qin Dynasty. However, as a guiding ideology of the Qin dynasty, which guided the first unified, multi-ethnic feudal dynasty, no trace was left in later generations of the doctrine.
