论公民法治意识之主要内容

ON the Primary Content of Citizen's Consciousness of Rule of law

法治中国建设不仅要求改革与完善法律制度,同时需要培育与提升公民法治意识。培育并提升公民法治意识,应该首先明确公民法治意识的主要内容。鉴于公民法治意识培育的最终目的是为促进法律得以自觉之遵守和法律本身的良善。因此,自觉守法意识、契约意识、理性意识、人本意识、程序意识等就应该成为公民法治意识的主要内容,唯有具备这些意识,公民才会将尊法守法作为一种道德自觉和行为自觉。

The construction of rule of law in China requires not only the reform and improvement of law systems but also the developing and improving citizen＇ s law consciousness . To develop citizen＇ s law consciousness, the priority should be given to clarifying the primary content of citizen＇ s consciousness of rule of law.
