Han Fei was the most great legal thinker of Legalists in the Warring States Period. The Chinese legal family has been one of five big legal families in the world. Among the Chinese legal family the most important two legal thoughts are Confucianism and Legalism. Until 21 century now, although there have been abundant essays about Han Fei's thought or his legal thought, but we couldn't find out an essay , which focusing Han Fei' s philosophical bases of his legal thought, and searching its significance in the modern legal theory. So I would like to explore into the basic theories of his legal thought firstly, and then compare them with the modern west legal philosophy. Such I think I could make the meaning of Han Fei 's legal thought in the modern legal theory more clear and more enlightening.
