论权利观念的历史性

Historical Nature of the Concept of Right

权利的观念是近代资产阶级意识形态的基本内容,近代社会的法制及其法治都是建立在权利观念的基础上的。但是,在前工业社会以及后工业社会的历史条件下,权利观念都不具有存在的合理性。前工业社会中的社会治理是建立在等级化基础上的权力治理,而后工业社会中的社会治理将是建立在共在共生的合作关系基础上的道德治理,都不需要以政治上的权利设定为前提。总之,权利观念具有历史性。

The concept of right is a basic component of the modern bourgeois ideology. Both the legal system and nomocracy in the modern society are established on the basis of this concept. However, the concept of right does not maintain a rational existence under the historical circumstances of pre-industrial and post-industrial societies. The social rule in the pre-industrial society is characterized as rule by the powerful based on a hierarchical social structure, while the social rule in a post-industrial society is one of the ethics based on a cooperative relation of coexistence. Neither of them needs a premise of political right. Therefore, it is safe to say that right is a historical concept.
