论法治与和谐社会的内在统一

On the Inner Unity of Law and Harmonious Society

法治与和谐社会具有内在的统一性。二者都注重均衡地保障社会各阶层和个体的权利,限制公共权力,使二者在法律的规范下达致和谐运行;和谐社会的形成与法的形成一样,是社会各阶层利益妥协的结果,自由是法治的本质,应培养公民的自治能力,不应仅靠立法来推进法治;法治与和谐都不是完美的,但解决冲突的机制却使社会长期稳定。

Both law and harmonious society have unity,which value the rights and benefits of all classes and individuals and limit the public power so that both may work in harmony.The establishment of a harmonious society,like that of law,is the transigent result of all classes.Freedom is the essence of law,so self-rule ability may be cultivated.Law cannot be promoted by legislation,for neither law nor harmony is perfect,and the mechanism of settling social conflicts will keep society stable.
