浅析卢梭《社会契约论》的法律思想

On the Legal Thoughts of Rousseau’s "Social Contract"

卢梭在"社会契约"问题上与霍布斯、洛克有不同的观点。卢梭在《社会契约论》中,讨论了构成人类社会政治制度的各种因素及其各种关系,尤其重点探讨了法律问题。法律的目的是保障人的自由,人的自由只有在因"社会契约"而成的理性共同体中才能体现出来。法律具有多层内涵,其中最重要的是"公意",即法律具有人民性。法律在本质上必须体现为正义论的法律价值观。

Rousseau had a different view from Hobbes and Locke. In the ＂social contract＂, Rousseau discussed the various factors and relationships that compose human social and political systems, and in particular, the focus on the legal issues. The purpose of the law was to protect human freedom and it was because of ＂social contract＂ that human freedom could be reflected in a rational community. Law had multi meanings, and the most important one was ＂general will＂, that is, the law was the People. In essence, the law must reflect the values of justice of the law.
