建设性后现代有情法(上)

Constructive Post-Modern Sympathy Law(First Part)

本文考察了当代西方后现代思想家对西式现代法律的全方位质疑——他们对法律"自主性","中立性","确定性"等基本信条的挑战,以及对现代法律道义缺席和独断主义的揭示,同时探究和解构了现代法律背后的理性主义、个人主义、人类中心主义、机械还原主义以及非道德主义;在此基础上,从第二次启蒙和建设性后现代的视域出发,结合中国智慧的菁华,提出了一种具有中国色彩的建设性后现代有情法概念。后现代有情法是中国传统司法智慧和现代西方法律智慧在中国现实基础上的创造性整合,所追求的是形式正义和实质正义的有机结合;它以尊道德、尚和谐、重情义为诉求,重视人的情感、直觉和想象力在判案过程中的作用,珍视包容、关爱他人和对他者负责等优良品质与价值。较之现代法律,后现代有情法更合情合理,更具有滋养性,更富有人情味。它不仅将造福于中国人民,为我们探索一条具有中国特色的法治之路提供方向,而且也将是对世界司法事业的重大贡献。
