法律的道德化与道德的法律化——分析法学视角中的“礼”与“法”

Moralization of legal and Legalization of Morality:Analytical Jurisprudence Views of Rite and Law

法律的道德化与道德的法律化被人们看作是中国传统法律的典型特征。从分析法学的视角可以看出,礼不等于道德,仅有部分礼义属于道德的范畴,法律的道德化这一论断无法成立,而道德的法律化也并不是中国传统社会独有的现象,在英国普通法的历史中,也曾经出现过道德法律化现象,并对普通法的发展产生了深远的影响。

Seemed that moralization of legal and legalization of morality is the typical characteristic of traditional law of China,however,in views of analytical jurisprudence,Rite doesn't mean morality except some parts of it.So, the statement of moralization of legal is incorrect.In addition,moralization of legal is not a unique phenomenon in Chinese tradition.We can find its trace in the history of British Common Law,which produced far-reaching effects in the development of Common Law.
