浅析先秦法家的法治思想对当代法治中国建设的启示

A Brief Analysis of the Enlightenment of Pre-Qin Legalists’ Rule of Law thoughts to the Construction of Contemporary Rule of Law in China

先秦法家思想是中华传统文化的重要组成部分,法家法治思想是中华传统法律文化的其中一部分,汲取传统优秀法律文化精髓,赋予当代法治建设新内涵,为当代法治建设寻找理论溯源,法家思想中的“法势术”、“不法古,不循今”、“法不阿贵”、“好利恶害”、“法布于众”等思想可以用于指导当代法治建设。但是,先秦法家思想具有时代劣根性,如“重农抑商”、“以刑去刑”、“以法为教”思想违背了社会发展规律。因此,合理地分析借鉴良性思想资源,剔除封建糟粕对传统法律文化实现创造性转化、创新性发展,推进全面建设社会主义现代化,走出中国式现代化道路具有现实意义。

The pre-Qin legalist thought is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and the legalist thought of rule of law is one part of traditional Chinese legal cultures. It absorbs the essence of traditional excellent legal culture, endows the contemporary construction of rule of law with new connotation, and seeks the theoretical source for the contemporary construction of rule of law. The ideas of “not following the modern”, “law is not noble”, “good profit and evil”, “law distributed to the public” can be used to guide the construction of contemporary rule of law. However, the pre-Qin legalist thought has the root evil of the Times, such as “emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce”, “taking punishment to punish”, “law as teaching” thought violate the law of social development. Therefore, it is of practical significance to realize creative transformation and innovative development of traditional legal culture, promote the comprehensive construction of socialist modernization and walk out of the Chinese-style modernization road to reasonably analyze and draw lessons from benign ideological resources and eliminate feudal dregs.
