法兰克福学派早期代表的法治理论及其发展研究

On the Rule of Law Theory and Its Development of Early Representative of Frankfurt School

法兰克福学派早期代表诺伊曼通过分析法治之“法”的意蕴、法治与政治权力的关系以及法治的道德之维,诠释法治历程图景折射社会的变迁。基希海默基于对纳粹德国法治实践的考究,寻求化解正当性与合法性之冲突的方案,在与诺伊曼的论争中表达其对民主法治国的期望。他们的法治理论在第二代代表哈贝马斯的程序主义民主法治国的阐释中得以丰富和发展,也为第三代领军人物霍耐特承认理论视野下的法治思想提供了理论资源。文章立足于法兰克福学派法治理论发展的内在逻辑,探究早期代表法治理论的原创性、重要性及其后续发展。

As an early representative of the Frankfurt School,Neumann explains that the prospect of the rule of law can reflect the changes of society by analyzing the meaning of“law”of the Rechtsstaat,the relationship between the rule of law and political power and the moral dimension of the rule of law.Based on the study of the practice of rule of law in Nazi Germany,Kirchheimer endeavors to pursue a blue print to resolve the conflicts between legitimacy and legality,and places his expectation of democratic Rechtsstaat in the debate with Neumann.Their theories of rule of law are enriched and developed in Habermas’proceduralist democratic Rechtsstaat,which also provides theoretical resources for the third generation leader of Frankfurt School,i.e.Honneth’s thought of rule of law in the field of recognition theory.According to the inherent logic of the development of Frankfurt School’s theory of the rule of law,this paper explores the originality,importance and subsequent development of the early representatives’theories of rule of law.
