论法国启蒙学者视域中的中国法文化

A study of Chinese legal culture from the perspective of French enlightenment scholars

17至18世纪,法国启蒙学者基于旅行者、史学家以及传教士的记录和著述,在自己的作品中表达出对中国法文化的看法。而这些观点展现出从一味颂扬到逐渐客观理性的分歧与流变。检讨这种分歧和流变的成因,是我们反思如何看待法国启蒙学者中国研究的基础。基于这种检讨和反思,我们才能正确认识到中国法文化的时代意义,并能认识到当前海外中国法研究存在的问题。

From the 17 thto 18thCentury,on the basis of records and writings of travelers,historians and missionaries,French Enlightenment scholars expressed their views on Chinese legal culture in theirs works,whichdisplayed a gradual evolution from pure praise to a more objective and rational perspective. Reviewing the causes of the divergence and evolution is the basis for us to reflect on how to treat the French Enlightenment scholars＇ studies of China. Only based on this review and reflection,can we recognize the significance of times in studying the Chinese legal culture,and realize the current problems of Chinese law research overseas.
