法典编纂与私法发展:罗马法经验观照

Codification and the Development of Private Law:Based on the Experience of Roman Law

法典编纂在法典与法律发展问题上具有重要的方法论意义。罗马私法的发展经验可以成为观照现代法典化立法的重要资源。法典编纂不应成为法学以及法律发展的终结,而应该通过开放性规范设置克服法典的形式化局限。罗马法法源多元交错发展,在法作为自生自发秩序的朴素观念基础上,实现了私法的自然生长。罗马私法发展的经验延续至后世法学,为后世民法典中的开放性规范设置提供了思想资源。

Codification has great methodological significance in terms of the Code and development of law.The experiences of the development of Roman private law can be an important resource for the reflection of modern codification.Codification should not be the end of Jurisprudence and the development of law,and should try to overcome the formal limitation of the Code by setting open norms.Based on the simple concept of law as spontaneous orders,Roman law has been developed naturally.The experiences of Roman law provide abundant resources for modern codification,especially for the establishment of open norms.
