Hello everyone, I am Xiaoyou.
In 2020, a teacher on the Internet suddenly became popular and gained tens of millions of fans in just half a year. At the same time, jokes and memes about him were flying all over the world. The most important thing is that he talked about very serious legal knowledge.
This makes many people curious about when netizens love learning law so much, but when you watch his videos, you will find that his videos have a kind of magical nature.
Behind the seemingly absurd legal cases and jokes is the rigorous legal thinking and academic attitude.
This teacher is Luo Xiang .
I believe that when it comes to Teacher Luo Xiang, many friends will smile knowingly. This knowledge internet celebrity who has successfully broken the circle from the education industry in the past two years has a large number of loyal fans.
The most well-known thing is a pair of little hands that have nowhere to be placed, a pure Hunan Mandarin , and an Zhang San that has committed almost all the sins in the world. But many people are almost ignored. Teacher Luo Xiang’s essential work is an professor of criminal law at of China University of Political Science and Law. A standard academic master, see Mr. Luo Xiang’s interpretation of legal issues and his thoughts on life.
"When a madman tied five innocent people to the tram track, an out-of-control tram is coming towards them, and after a moment, it will crush them. Fortunately, you can pull a lever and let the tram drive to another track, but the problem is that the madman also tied a person to another tram track."
Considering the above situation, should you pull this lever?
This issue involves the debate between the two schools of utilitarianism and moralism in the field of philosophy. There has never been a conclusion. Teacher Luo Xiang gave his own point of view, that is, the key to the problem is not the comparison of the value of life, but the need to practice the moral norms of respecting life.
In other words, the life of five people is life, and the life of one person is also life. Moral rules require that no innocent individual's life should be taken away.
"Simpson's Wife Killing Case"
"A black American Simpson was accused of killing his ex-wife and a man. All signs point to Simpson being the murderer. However, during the trial of the case, the judge found that the evidence presented by the prosecution might have been obtained through illegal means. As a result, these evidences were excluded, and eventually led to Simpson being acquitted."
Teacher Luo Xiang explained to us through this case that people cannot find justice in a self-righteous way. Only through procedural principles can humans accept a flawed justice.
This is also why torture is prohibited in the law. Even if torture is to a certain extent, it can improve the effectiveness of case trials, but it is prohibited by law because of procedural injustice. This is actually the spirit of the law, or the charm of the rule of law.
is connected through cases and events. Teacher Luo Xiang has really understood the law for many years, which has allowed many ordinary readers to understand the spirit of the rule of law in a more understandable way.
