Legal Orientalism has two histories: one is the Orientalist statements that we find throughout Western history, including ideas about Chinese legal conscious-ness. The other is the history of the concept of legal Orientalism: how this concept is used and commented upon. This article works out the importance of reflecting on both of these histories to avoid that the concept of legal Orientalism hinders communication between the “Orient” and “Occident”. To enable comparative legal learning, it argues that thinking a-bout legal Orientalism should be complemented by the concepts of dialogue and Oriental legalism. |
