韩非子的慎刑观简论

An Analysis on Concept of Cautious Penalty by HAN Fei-zi

韩非子提倡重刑治国,在坚持重刑论、对重刑作出说明、为重刑进行辩护的同时,也提出一些慎刑观点,对重刑论加以修正。这应当是韩非子刑罚思想中的＂异质＂性因素,更是精华之一,值得认真分析和借鉴。

HAN Fei-zi advocated ruling state with severe penalty,and elaborated and defended it.As com-pensation,he also put forward some views of cautions penalty.This can be deemed as something ＂heterogeneous＂,and even an essence in his theory of criminal punishment,which merits analysis and borrowing.
