“礼”与自然法的沟通——从洛克《政府论》对亲权的阐释导入

Communication between “Ritual” and Natural Law——From the Interpretation of Parental Power in Locke’s Concerning Civil Government

约翰·洛克的自然法思想和儒家的礼法哲学,均将亲权置于上帝或者神意的支配之下,宣示自然伦理的合法性,并以此为基础,建立起家族和社会伦理。与之并行的另外一条发展线索则是:以神权法或者神法为逻辑起点,主张国家法或制定法是自然秩序和自然法则在人类社会的投射。近代以来的法治文化变革,可能片面夸大了中西法律哲学之间的异质性,对两者共性的认知则略嫌不足。

Both the thought of natural law by John Locke and ritual-law philosophy of Confucians put parental power under the control of God or the will of gods,which declares the legitimacy of natural ethics,and based on this,the family and social ethics is established. Another developmental clue in parallel with it uses the theocracy or the divine law as the logical starting point,advocating that the state law or the statute law is the projection of the natural order and the natural law in human society.The reform of the culture of rule of law in modern times mayone - sidedly exaggerate the heterogeneity between Chinese and Western legal philosophy,while the understanding of commonality between them is a bit inadequate.
