Sociality: the Constitutional Amendment in 2004 and the Essence of the Law of PRC

2004年修宪标志着我国法制由阶级性向社会性的转变。相应地,法学必须坚持逻辑和历史相统一的精神,反映我国当代法治实践,概括我国当代法律的本质,扬弃"阶级意志论",弘扬"社会意志论",承担起指导中国特色社会主义法治建设的时代使命。

The Constitutional Amendment in 2004 is a landmark in the transition of the legal system in PRC from the tradional to modern one. The jurisprudence in PRC, adhering to the doctrine of the integrity of history and logics, should reflect the legislative practice, illuminate the essence of the contemporary law in PRC by introducing the theory that the spirit of law embodies the will of the society other than that of the dominant class, and undertake the mission to promote the cause of rule of law.
