制度文明的进化与平等的历程

Evolution of Constitutional Civilization and the Course of Equality

国家文明的重要标志是制度文明,制度文明的道德立法原理乃是平等。人类追求平等的历程,表征为不断创建新的制度文明的历程;反之,人类创建制度文明的历程,同样是不懈探索平等生存发展的历程。平等的观念、思想来源于自然,萌生于人类前文明时期;国家诞生之后,这种自然平等观念、思想演变为等级式平等的制度立法原理;近代革命以来,人类中心主义的人人平等思想,成为现代人类制度的道德立法原理。人本中心论的人人平等的制度文明,从根本上忽视了自然权利、万物生命权利的平等这一存在事实,把人类引上片面征服和掠夺的道路,导致了人与自然之生态链的断裂。当代制度文明应该建立在物权与人权普遍平等的基础上。物权和人权普遍平等,构成了当代人类制度文明创建的道德立法原理。

The constitutional civilization, an important symbol of a nation＇s civilization, has equality as its moral legislation principle. Man＇s pursuing of equality is reflected on his continual creation of new institutional civilizations. The idea ＆ thoughts of equality, which origins from nature in the pre - civilized period, evolved into the constitutional legislation principle of caste - ed equality. After the industrial revolution, human - centered equality for all men became the moral legislation principle of modem human constitutions. The constitutional civilization of human - centered equality for all men, which completely overlook the fact that there should be the equality of nature＇ s right and all things＇ life rights, misled man onto the path of partially conquering and plundering, and caused the eco - chain between man and nature to break. The contemporary constitutional civilization should be founded on the universal equality of things＇ fights and human rights, which should function as the moral legislation principle of contemporary constitutional civilization.
