民法法典化与私法价值的实现

Civil Codification and Realization of the Value of Private Law

法典化意味着需要理性支配,在注重形式合理性的同时,更需要讲求其实质合理性,亦即价值理性。私法价值是民法法典化的灵魂,各国民法法典化的历史表明,法典的制定均有其价值预设。反思我国传统法律文化,尤其是私法文化缺失的状况,在民法法典化过程中更应注重私法价值取向的确立。同时要正确处理移植和继承的关系问题,兼顾本土性、传统性,发现、挖掘和利用传统法律文化中的有益资源。我国民法典的制定,应以个人自由和社会正义的恰当结合或者统一这一现代私法文化价值为其价值取向,在确立和维护个人自由的同时,兼顾社会正义,使得现代私法的价值诉求能够通过民法法典化而得以实现。

Codification implies the need for rational control,and emphasis on not only formal rationality,but also substantive rationality,namely value rationality.The value of private law is the soul of civil codification,and histories of civil codification in various countries show that,the formulation of each code has its own value presetting.Reflecting on traditional legal culture in China,especially the lack of private law culture,more emphasis should be paid on establishing value orientation of private law during civil codification.At the same time,the relationship between migration and inheritance should be dealt with properly,by discovering,exploring and exploiting beneficial resources in traditional law culture with nativeness and conventionality in mind.Formulation of the civil code in China should take proper combination of individual liberty with social justice or unification of the cultural value of this modern private law as its value orientation,and keep social justice in mind while establishing and protecting individual liberty,to realize the value appeal of modern private law through codificat.
