Conclusion
This lecture was an overview of the real estate legal system in Japan.
At the time when positivism was popular in the world of science, the world of law also adopted the idea, and legal positivism and pure jurisprudence became popular.
It's the topic of legal philosophy.
However, I believe that law is not something that exists suspended in the air from the ground of the real social economy and its history.
Talking about history, politics is called political history, economy is called economic history, and law is called legal history.
Different countries have different cultures and histories, and different laws and systems.
The same is true for real estate legal systems.
For example, whether or not an ordinary citizen can own land as an individual.
Even if they can, what kind of restrictions are there?
Is it a country with a private property system in the first place?
It has been understood that the Cold War was an ideological struggle between liberal and communist countries.
But that's just one way of looking at it.
Whether or not to accept the private property system, it can be considered as a matter of degree, which is the principle or the exception.
If freedom and democracy are guaranteed to some extent, each entity can act freely in a free market, and the economy will grow and develop.
It can be argued that today's global economic development has been made possible by the existence of various ideas in the world, including capitalism, socialism, and communism.
In Japan, the laws, systems, morals, and common sense taught by adults are just what is currently accepted in this country at this time.
Just by going outside of the prefecture, you may even experience a mild culture shock.
When you go abroad, the laws themselves are different from those in Japan.
It's not just laws.
Politics, economy, culture, history, food, language, and so on.
Some scholars claim that the difference in language also defines the way of thinking itself.
Believe it or not, it's up to you!
So, let's end. Thank you.
