人何以要服从于法律?——基于一种社会与文化本体性的法人类学思考

Why Should People Obey the Law?——An Anthropological Thinking of Law Based on a Social and Cultural Ontology

基于人性的法律才有可能获得完全的理解。在人所创制的法律中,它首先有着社会性的存在感,而一种守法的文化,也需要在社会互动中基于彼此相互性的关系而生成。法律是一种文化,是对自然说“不”的规则生产,由规则进而演变成为成文的法律。人服从于法律,有赖于人群间的持续互动。同时,人自身的不一致性,使得法律的规则根基于人的规则认同,而这种认同的生成有赖于社会之中的得失平衡的互惠。总体而言,社会秩序的出现是作为法律副产品而存在的,法律的问题必然会触及到对一和多这一社会与文化本体论的讨论。

Only laws based on human nature can be fully understood.Law is a kind of culture, which is the production of rules that say “no” to nature, and then evolves from rules to written laws. People obey the law, which depends on the continuous interaction between people. At the same time, people’s own inconsistency makes the rule of law rooted in people’s rule identity, and the generation of this identity depends on the mutual benefit of the balance of gains and losses in society. In general, the emergence of social order exists as a by-product of law, and the problem of law will inevitably touch on the discussion of the social and cultural ontology of one and many.
