列奥·施特劳斯自然法思想中国研究述评

Review of Research on Leo Strauss Natural Law Thought in China

列奥·施特劳斯是20世纪著名的政治哲学家,其自然法思想的中国研究主要有三个方面:一是直接解读或评论其自然法思想;二是从自然权利的角度透视整个施特劳斯的政治哲学;三是与其他思想家对比分析施特劳斯的自然法思想。这些研究基本都很关注施特劳斯的自然法,但是在表达自然法的称谓上却并不统一;大多研究都着重从施特劳斯的古典自然权利如何转变为现代自然权利的过程考察,却少有研究确定而深入地解释他的自然和自然法到底是什么,与神法是什么关系;大部分学者对于施特劳斯自然法思想的研究都基本限于《自然权利与历史》的表述阐释自然权利的转变过程,却较少关注贯穿于其整个学术和生活的自然法思想精神。而且施特劳斯为什么追求古典自然法?他是否真的有信仰?他的灵魂去了哪里?这些问题均应引起我们的反思。

Leo Strauss was a famous political philosopher of the 20 th century. The researches on his natural law thought in China are mainly in three aspects: First, the direct interpretation or comment on its natural law thinking; Second, from the perspective of natural rights grasping the entire political philosophy of Strauss; Third, contrasting with other thinkers. These studies on the expression of natural law are not uniform. Most studies have focused on how the transition from classical to modern natural rights, but few in-depth explanation of his nature and natural law, and what is the relationship between natural law and divine law; Most scholars are basically limited to the statement in Natural Right and History, but pay less attention to natural law spirit throughout his entire academic and life. Why Strauss pursued classical natural law, whether he really had faith, where his soul went, these problems should cause us to reflect.
