民间法的现代性意义研究

Modern Significance of Folk Laws

不同的学者对民间法的定义也各不相同,但可以看到,多数学者都同意民间法是与国家法对应存在的且有着其自身的特点。相对于国家法、道德规范,民间法有着独立的空间与领域,这是其他社会规范所无法取代的。因此,我们应该以国家法为依托,在国家法的原则范围内对民间法进行鉴别,发扬民间法中善的部分,剔除恶的元素,最终实现民间法的现代性意义,为中国现代化的法治进程添砖加瓦。

Folk Law has not been exactly defined. It corresponds to the national law but has its own characteristics. It is irreplaceable and independent from other social norms. Therefore, it should be identified within the scope of the national law to maintain its essence and contribute to China＇ s modernization.
