构建面向世界的中国法学自主知识体系

Constructing a World-Oriented Independent Knowledge System of Law in China

构建中国法学自主知识体系这一主张的提出有其历史和时代的背景,是一种面向“世界”的言说。在空间维度上,构建中国法学自主知识体系主要面向的是西方世界;在时间维度上,构建中国法学自主知识体系要面向新科技时代的世界。面向世界的“中国”自主法学知识体系,由中国学者构建且在内容上具有中国特色,但始终保持开放姿态。在构建中国法学自主知识体系的过程中,应将马克思主义法学之“道”、中华优秀传统法律文化之“根”、国外有益法律思想之“器”和当下中国法治实践之“基”结合起来。中国法学者应处理好“世界”与“中国”的关系,既要做中国法学知识体系的创造者,也要做世界法学知识体系的贡献者。

The proposition of constructing China’s independent knowledge system of law is grounded in the historical and contemporary contexts and is articulated with a global orientation.In the spatial dimension,it is addressed in reference to the western knowledge system;in the temporal dimension,the construction of China’s independent knowledge system of law is a response to a world reshaped by new technologies.Chinese independent knowledge system of law is constructed by Chinese scholars,has distinct Chinese characteristics,but remains open to the world throughout its evolution.This knowledge system should integrate the“principles”of Marxist legal science,the“root”of China’s distinguished traditional legal culture,the“instruments”of beneficial foreign legal thoughts and the“foundation”of China’s current rule of law practice.Chinese legal scholars should handle the relationship between the“World”and“China”properly,and endeavor to be both the architects of the China’s legal knowledge system and the contributors to the global legal knowledge domain.
