最基本的法现象不是权利和义务而是权利和权力——评童之伟著《法权与宪政》

The Most Basic Legal Phenomena is not Right and Obligation but Right and Power

童之伟教授在其专著《法权与宪政》一书中 ,大胆地提出了最基本的法现象不是权利和义务 ,而是权利和权力 ,并将权利权力关系命名为“法权” ,从而揭示了立法上的权力和私法上的权利这对矛盾 ,以及权利和权力分别所对应的义务 ,这是对“法权”概念的重新诠释 ,实现了对“权”和“广义权利”认识的范畴化 ,基本上解决了长期困扰中外法学界对“权”和“广义权利”的内涵、外延不能合理确定的问题 ,并从改善法学理论的状况入手 ,成功地打通了法理学和宪法学的基本范畴。同时 ,该书哲学思想比较宽厚 ,研究方法独具匠心 。

Professor Tong Zhiwei points out that the most basic legal phenomena is not right and obligation but right and power, names the relationship between right and power with legal power, discloses the relation between power on public law and right on private law and clarifies obligation corresponding to right and power, which is a new explanation on the concept of legal power. The new explanation distinguishes between the conception of right and its broad sense. The book combines the basic conception on jurisprudence and that on constitution; meanwhile, the studying method is unique, which provides a new perspective for study.
