中美宪法文化之思维方式比较

A Comparison of the Chinese and American Constitutional Cultures in Terms of Ways of Thinking

在价值中立原则指导下,以植根于我国儒家文化背景的宪法文化为分析工具,可以看到中美宪法文化之思维方式存在着“一元化”与“二元化”的对抗、“人性善”与“人性恶”的对比以及“全能理性”与“有限理性”的对立。通过比较,两类宪法文化在思维方式方面可以相互借鉴、取长补短。

Guided by the principle of value neutralization, by using constitutional culture rooted in Confucianism as the tool of analysis, this paper attempts to reveal the difference of centralization versus dualization, the belief in the essential goodness versus the belief in the evilness of human nature, and omnipotent reason versus limited reason existing in the Chinese and American constitutional cultures in terms of ways of thinking. A comparison shows that the two constitutional cultures can profit from each other and make up for each other＇s deficiencies.
