论王韬法律思想之主旨——以《弢园文录外编》为视角

A Discourse on the Purport of Wang Tao’s Legal Thought:From the View of “Tao Yuan”Series

王韬是近代中国的改良思想巨擘,"通"——以变通、疏通、沟通求得融通的思想,即改良变法的思想——是其法律思想之主旨所在。以"通"为法思想之逻辑起点,王韬着力于对传统法哲学观——"天下观"、"道器观"、"循环观"、"变易观"等的融通与重构,并把"变通"、"改良"的思想主旨溶灌于种种具体法律主张中。把握"通"的法律思想主旨对深刻理解其法律思想的整体有重要意义。

Wang Tao is a reform thinker in modern China. ＂tong（link） ＂--the thought of flexibility, corn- munication and dredging to realize fusion, namely improved and introducing institutional reform thought--is the purport of his legal thought. Taking ＂tong＂ as the logical starting point, he focused on modern fusion and re- construction of traditional philosophical legal view such as ＂world view＂, ＂tao device view＂, ＂cycle view＂, ＂variation view＂, and penetrated the ＂alternative＂, ＂improved＂ ideological purport into his various specific legal claims. So to grasp ＂tong （link）＂ has important significance in understanding his legal thought in thewhole.
