美国欧伯格菲案背后的权利哲学

Philosophy of Rights Behind the Case Obergefell v.Hodges in America

欧伯格菲案的多数派意见将婚姻定义为国家认肯的一对伴侣的自愿结合、坚持司法机关有权在关系到社会根本价值的问题上创设新的宪法权利、和政府可以成为个体权利的构成性因素,这些都体现着卢梭的共同体观念,而与洛克的国家与社会间的严格两分法保持距离。除了价值的规定性之外,宪法权利的确定有着强烈的政治色彩,这使得在个体权利观念还非常贫弱但总体上已经进入现代社会的中国,虽然对同性婚姻权的呼声会日渐强烈但其实现却道路漫长。

Obergefell v. Hodges defines marriage as a voluntary union between man and women recognized by state. Those ideas such as the judiciary may create new constitutional rights concerning fundamental social values and the government should be subject to individual rights embodies Jean--Jacques Rousseau philosophy of community, at the same time, those ide- as have kept certain distance from John Locke＇s s rigid dichotomy between state and society. Besides the normative values, the establishment of constitutional rights embodies very strong political elements, and this is also the reason why there is still a long way to go for those countries which have traditions of weak individual rights, thus, all of this makes it hard for China to recognize same sex marriage despite the increasingly strong demands in our society.
