康德法权概念及其现代意义

Kant's concept of legal rights and its modern significance

本文认为,康德的法权概念未得到应有的尊重和理解。只有遵循康德哲学的体系构造,才能准确把握其法权概念的性质和作用,进而恰如其分地评判康德法权论形而上学的意义和价值。静态地看,法权概念是法权论形而上学知识的基础和来源。动态地看,法权概念的阐明进程就是法权论形而上学的构建过程。康德的法权概念是受道德形而上学体系严格限定的,任何偏离此种限定对法权概念的评判与运用都是没有根据的。在高度复杂的现代社会中,以自由实践和道德义务为要旨的康德式的法权概念具有不可替代的价值。

Until now,Kant's concept of legal rights has not received due respect and interpretation.Only by following the structure of Kant's philosophy can we accurately comprehend the nature and role of the concept of legal rights,and properly evaluate the significance and value of Kant's juridical metaphysics.From the static point of view,the concept of legal rights is the basis and origin of the knowledge of juridical metaphysics.From the dynamic point of view,the process of interpretation of the concept of legal rights is also the process of the construction of juridical metaphysics.Kant's concept of legal rights is strictly limited by the system of moral metaphysics.Any evaluation and application deviating from this limit does not hold water.In the highly complicated modern society,Kant's concept of legal rights based on the practice of freedom and moral obligation has irreplaceable value.
