传统法律文化调适的必要与可能

The Necessity and the Possibility of the Adjustment of the Traditional Legal Culture

从清末变法改制以来的一百年间,如何调适传统法律文化以适应法制现代化的需求,就成为一个历久弥新的话题。仁政与宪政、义务本位与权利本位、家族与个人、纠纷解决与权利保障等的不相容或实质性差异,决定了对传统法律文化调适的必要,而立法中的择善而从和司法中的因势利导,则为这种调适提供了可能。

In the century which started from the reformation and reconstruction of the late Qing Dynasty, it has always been an everlasting theme that how to adapt the traditional legal culture to the requirement of the legal mod- ernization. The incompatible concepts or the material discrepancies between Benevolent Government and Constitu- tional Government, Duty Standard and Right Standard, Family and Individual, Disputes Settlement and Rights Pro- tection and so on require the necessity of the adjustment of traditional legal culture. Besides, choosing the good law in legislation and nurturing the circumstance in judicature provide the possibility for this adjustment.
