殊途同归:“无讼”与现代法治精神之间

The Same Goal in Different Way: Between "No-litigation" and the Spirit of Modern Rule of Law

“无讼”作为中国传统法律文化的主要价值取向之一,是当时自然社会条件和社会结构的必然选择。它与现代法治精神具有同样的历史合理性,体现了不同社会条件下人们对以秩序与公正为主题的社会理想的共同追求,但它们在社会现实中有着不同的实践模式。在不同的实践模式中形成了不同的观念:对人的信任与对法的信仰。鉴此,寻求二者契合,进行适度宽容的制度设计,理性选择现代法治建设之路,当是一种明智之举。

As one of the value dispositions of the traditional culture of Chinese law, ”no--litigation“ is the inevitable conclusion under the natural condition and social structure of that time. It is as historically reasonable as the modern spirit of rule of law, and reflects people＇s common pursuit of the social ideal of order and justice under different social conditions, but they have different modes in practice. In different practice modes, people have different ideals： the belief in law and the belief in human being. So, it is sensible to look for the combination of them, set up right lenient institution, and choose the way of the construction of modern rule of law rationally.
