传统社会调解意识成因的多元解读

Multiple Interpretation of the Cause for Traditional Chinese Social Mediation Consciousness

中西法律文化皆以秩序与正义为其独特的价值目标与价值追求,但在倾向上却颇有不同。传统中国法律文化以"秩序"追求为轴心,发展出以"无讼""调解"为核心的司法理念与司法制度;西方法律文化则以追寻"正义"为目标,以权利、义务的界分为目的,发展出崇尚以诉讼解决纷争的路径。对当事人利益价值取向的不同、国家对司法制度设计的不同对纠纷解决模式的选择尤为重要。其中诉权主体与诉讼时间的限制,法律文化价值取向的不同,导致了中国传统社会调解意识在世界范围内独树一帜。

Both Chinese and western legal cultures take order and justice as their unique value goal and value pursuit,but they are quite different in tendency.The traditional Chinese legal culture is centered on the pursuit of "order" and develops the judicial idea and s judicial system of "no litigation" and "mediation".Western legal culture aims at pursuing "justice" and a clear definition of rights and obligations,and develops the mode of settling disputes through litigation.In this way,the two parties have different value orientation of interests,and the country’s design of judicial system is particularly important to the choice of dispute settlement mode.The limitation of litigation subjects and litigation time,and even the difference of legal cultural value orientation cause Chinese traditional social mediation consciousness to be unique in the world.
