论人情传统的历史成因及其影响

On Causes of the Favor Tradition and Its Reasonableness and Unreasonableness

人情原是中华文化圈中人们在进行社会交往时与对方进行情感交换的有形或无形资源,是人与人交往相处应遵循的规范或准则,亦即一种看重熟人关系、讲究个人感情、热衷人际往来、隐含期权回报的人际交往理念。人情或人情传统在中国社会形成的过程中受到了农业文明生活方式、儒家伦理文化、封建人治模式等因素的深刻影响,中国人情传统有着其特定的历史作用,比如构筑稳固的亲情伦理关系、培育温情脉脉式社会关系、维护传统社会结构的稳定等,然而,其也存在一定的负面效应,比如私利侵吞公义、人治取代法治、"外交"削弱内功等。在全面深化改革、全面依法治国、全面从严治党的过程中,必须正确处理好人情与法律、人情与制度、人情与规矩的关系,充分发挥人情或人情关系对构建和谐社会、维护社会稳定的正向作用,又有效抑制它的消极和负面影响。
