This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of criminal law, employing a theoretical framework that encompasses humanity, rationality, and experience, along with the fundamental principle of human will. The author passionately advocates for the duality of rationality and the richness of human experience, while firmly asserting the deterministic nature of human behavior in an ontological sense and the absolute freedom of will in an axiological context. Through this lens, the book explores the profound humanistic underpinnings of crime and punishment, legislation, and justice, shedding light on the complex interplay between these essential aspects of society.

The author's profound insights and thought-provoking arguments make this work a valuable contribution to the field of criminal law. By examining the foundations of criminal law theories, the book offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of crime, punishment, and justice. It challenges traditional notions and encourages readers to reevaluate the role of reason, emotion, and individual choice in shaping our understanding of criminal behavior and the legal system.

This book is a must-read for scholars, students, and anyone interested in exploring the humanistic dimensions of criminal law. Its comprehensive approach and engaging writing style make it accessible to a wide range of audiences, and its findings will undoubtedly inspire further discussions and debates on the critical issues of our time.
