现代文化与现代法的精神

Modern Culture and the Spirit of Modern Law

法的精神是整个法律形态及其制度体系的内在灵魂和运思神经,而法的精神是建立在相应的文化形态和模式基础之上的。现代文化形态的核心是个人和理性及其结合。文章围绕此核心,系统地分析了现代文化与法的神圣精神、个人利益正当观念、权利观念和怀疑精神等现代法精神诸维度的内在相关性。

The spirit of law is the inherent soul and the working nerve of the whole legal mechanism and institutional system, which is founded on the relevant cultural form and pattern. The core of modern cultural form is the individual, reason and the combination of the two. This paper analyses systematically the inherent interrelation of modern culture and dimensions of the spirit of law, such as the sacred spirit of law, rightful idea of personal interests, idea of rights and the spirit of skepticism.
