Résumé anglais Custom, Mores, and Rites. Western Categories of the Unwritten Norm from a Cross-cultural Perspective When studying Far East societies, the Western scholar relies upon concepts indigenous to his own culture. Far from being created by social sciences and to their own usage, notions such as "custom", "mores", "rite" have been refined in the context of the long history of a specific legal thought. The author attempts here to revisit this history and to include in this framework an anthropological and comparative reflexion between the East and the West.
