价值理性与工具理性视野下的中国商事传统——论中国现代商法构建和完善

Chinese Commerce in Relation to Value-Oriented Reason and Instrument-Oriented Reason and the Establishment of Chinese Commercial Law

毋庸置疑,在中国古代商事活动是广泛存在的,也必然普遍地存在着对于商事活动的思考,而这些思考以及这些思考影响下的某些规则的存在,在事实上对商事活动产生了重要影响。基于此,以价值理性与工具理性为工具,以中国商事传统为背景,分析探究了中国古代对于商事活动的价值追求以及商事规范本身的价值追求,从而展示了中国商事传统的特性、不足及其魅力所在。

The prevalence of commercial activities in ancient China and the subsequent systematic reflections on them are significantly contributory to the establishment of modern China＇s commercial laws. The paper studies the Chinese commercial tradition in terms of value-oriented reason and instrument-oriented reason in view of exposing the features, shortcomings and advantages of commerce in ancient China.
