中国传统法律文化的现代转型

The Modernization of the Traditional Law Culture of China

市场经济在中国的建立和发展,以及经济全球化的冲击,使古老中国的传统法律文化正在发生现代转型。从制度层面看,中国传统法律文化需完成以下几方面的转型:以刑为中心到以民为中心;程序工具主义到程序正义的转型;法律属性的公法化到私法化;法律体系的封闭性到开放性;司法与行政的不分到司法独立。而在价值层面,应完成:从法律集团本位到个人本位;从法律的伦理化到理性化;从法的精神的人治化到法治化;从法律价值由"无讼"到正义。

With the establishment and development of market economy in China and the impact of economic globalization, the traditional law culture of China needs to undergo the following transitions: from the punishment-centered to the people-centered; from procedural instrumentalism to procedural justice; transition in the nature of law from public law to private law; the transition of legal system from closeness to openness; from the intermingle of justice and administration to judicial independence. In regard to the aspect of values, the following transitions should be accomplished: from the collective legal standard to the individual legal standard; transition of law from the ethicization of to rationalization; the transition of legal spirit from ruling by men to ruling by law; the transition of legal value from 'no lawsuit' to justice.
