论西塞罗对古希腊法律思想的继承和发展

Discussion on Cicero's Inheritance and Development of the Ancient Greek Law Thought

西塞罗是罗马共和国时期自然法思想的集大成者,他继承古希腊柏拉图、亚里士多德以及斯多葛派的法律思想,并将其罗马化。他构建的理性自然法思想,沟通了古希腊与中世纪的神学法律观,提出的自然平等观与分权制衡论则成为近代启蒙学者的宝贵财富。

Cicero epitomized Nature Law in the ancient Republic of Rome. Firstly he inherited the law thought from Plato, Aristotle and Stoic school, which he romanized later. The thought of Rational Natural Law he constructed bridged the legal outlook of theology between the ancient Greece and the Middle Ages, and his theory of the fundamental equal rights and power balance became precious wealth of the Enlightenment thinkers.
