以法治共识形塑“法治中国”

Shaping the"Rule of Law China"with the Rule of Law Consensus

倡行法治已然成为一种共识性认知,法治作为一种观念和思潮,裹挟着各种讨论和理想,在实践中全面铺陈。法治的理想性特征以及当代中国的法治实践,使得法治共识的生成不仅成为一种可能,更变成一种必要。在“法治中国”的建设过程中,对于法治共识的理论设想不应当只是抽象原则的简单堆砌,而应当是从依法治国的顶层设计到公平正义的价值追求,再到程序正义的“元规则”坚守,最后落脚到权利与权力的平衡上。

Advocating rule of law has become a kind of common understanding.As a type of concept and trend of thought,the rule of law,encompassing various discussions and ideals,is fully displayed in practice.The idealistic characteristics of the rule of law and its practice in contemporary China make the generation of the rule of law consensus not only possible,but also necessary.In the process of"building China into a rule of law country",the theoretical assumption on the rule of law consensus should not simply be a pile-up of abstract principles,but should be embodied in the top-level design of it,in the pursuit of the value of fairness and justice,in the adherence to the"meta rules"of procedural justice,and finally in the balance of rights and powers.
