社会团结的悖论:变动社会下的法治秩序——以“许云鹤案”为切入

The Paradox of Social Solidarity: the Order of Rule of Law in the Transformation of Society——Taking the Case of "XU Yun-he" as the Breakthrough

司法对于解决纠纷维护社会稳定具有十分重要的作用,但是转型中国遭遇的许多案件使得法院难以给出一个令人信服的判决,进而导致更多的社会危机,这是追求确定性的法律在社会变动时期所遭遇的难题。社会变迁所带来的高风险无法用已有的法律来化解,形式理性法及其推崇者所追求的那种确定性无法实现。在类似"许云鹤案"这样的情形中,公平责任在分担这种风险时极有可能瓦解这个社会,带来社会团结的悖论。保持司法适度的克制,同时加大法律共同体与社会大众之间的协商,是解决这一难题的可能选择,也是司法在构建现代化治理体系中所要采取的基本态度。

Justice is very important to resolve the disputes in the maintenance of the social stability, but in the transformation period it is difficult for the court to give a convincing judgment in China, leading to more social crisis which is the difficulty to pursue the legal certainty encountered in the period of social change. High risk in society change cannot dissolve with the existing laws, so the formal rational law and the certainty pursued by its advocates cannot be achieved. In the cases like ＂Xu Yunhe case＂, the fair responsibility in sharing that risk at the time of this risk is likely to collapse this society and to bring social solidarity paradox. Maintaining a moderate judicial restraint, and at the same time increasing consultation between the legal community and the public might be a possible choice to solve the problem, which is the basic attitude of the judiciary in the construction of modern governance system.
