On Edward Coke＇ s Constitutional Thought and the Value of the Traditional Chinese Legal Thoughts

Coke was undoubtedly a milestone in the history of the legal thoughts in Britain and even in the whole western world.Coke stressed the restriction of royalty and the suprem e status of the common law.In the British Parliament’s struggle against the monarchy in the 17th century,he put forward the creative constitutional ideas about independence of judges and judicial review,advocating the protection of due process and the civil rights,which provided valuable ideological inspiration especially for the development of judicial review and the due process in the U.S.C onstitution.Just as the saying goes,"the old farmland would grow out new grain",looking back on traditional legal thoughts is im portant to the construction of a legal country for the present China.

Ritual Traditions of the Three Dynasties and the Continuity of the Chinese Civilization

The rule of rites was the fundamental pattern of the governance in the Xia,Shang and Zhou dynasties(i.e.the Three Dynasties).As a complex system of political and cultural practices with political,religious and moral attributes,rites legitimately and structurally underpinned the royal regime,therefore ensuring regime stability,integrating social relations,and enhancing recognition of cultural and political identities.Ritual traditions of the Three Dynasties went beyond extrinsic rites and institutions to include intrinsic spiritual traditions,e.g.divinity of the Heaven,conformity with ancestral heritage,and derivative moral values such as the pursuit of ethics and rewards for benevolence.Also included were the sense of blood relationships,the sense of clanship,the sense of ethics and the sense of filial piety and fraternal duty based on ancestral worship.Through the enlightenment of ritual music,the sense of rites was internalized as the collective value and cultural identity of the members of a society.Therefore,early nations that were founded upon rites functioned as a community of politics,culture and morality.Rites,having been internalized as cultural elements of the Chinese people,shaped the ways of thinking and behavior.It is fair to say that rites have served as the fundamental bedrock for the continuity of the Chinese civilization.

Analysis of Aesthetic Connotation of Huaxia Culture Involved in Chinese Traditional Garden

Based on emphasis of Huaxia cultural aesthetics as the aesthetic tendency of Chinese traditional culture,Huaxia aesthetic culture had been divided into two parts:traditional ritual cultural aesthetics as the base and different aesthetic cultures dominating at different periods which included Confucius cultural aesthetics,seclusion cultural aesthetics and co-existence of Confucius,Taoist and Buddhist cultural aesthetics.Traditional ritual cultural aesthetics contained formal beauty,harmonious beauty and sacred numbers.Confucius aesthetics consisted of constant flow,happiness in poverty,and moral nature.The seclusion aesthetics consisted of super universe,hermit in nature and pastoral habitation.Co-existing aesthetics of Confucius,Taoist and Buddhist culture consisted of harmonious aid,principles' conclusion and leisure life.These dominating aesthetic cultures overlaid with basic ritual culture,and enhanced artistic conception of Chinese traditional gardens with witty words and sentences.

Visual Nationalism and Communal Rituals:Park Saengkwang’s Art and Korean Shamanism

This paper analyzes Park Saengkwang(1904-1985)’s artwork,created in the 1980s and influenced by Musok,Korean Shamanism.It explores Musok’s thematic significance in the development of his distinctive style and the inspiration behind his stylistic changes.Park’s ink paintings are done in bold and intense colors and create an intriguing,mysterious mood,inviting the viewers to the primordial visual experience and exposing its viewers to Korean Shamanism,which has endured the perception that fluctuated between positive and negative throughout Korean history.The practice became a fitting cultural emblem associated with the national identity during the 1970s and 1980s,and thus became a way for Park to explicitly articulate his cultural roots,creating a visual connotation of“Korean.”His art,portraying gut,Korean shamanistic communal rituals,could be conceived as a pictorial rendering of the idea of kibok,praying for good fortune,and served as a pujŏk,talisman paper,that possesses magical healing and protecting power.By striving to overcome the stylistic conflicts between Korean and Japanese,or traditional and Western,Park’s art accomplished the visual rhetoric of national aesthetic sensitivity that built on the communal thoughts and cultural experience of shamanism in the modern history of Korea.

中国传统民本思想及民生实践

中国传统民本思想的核心理念“以民为本”包含三层含义:民为国本,体现了对民众地位的认识;立国为民,体现了对统治者与民众关系的认知;政在养民,体现了对社会发展规律的理解。基于传统民本思想提出的一系列“以厚民生为本”的富民之策,要求统治者采取相应政策,关心民众生计,使民众生活富足。历代统治者推行的改善民生举措主要有重农抑商、务本兴农,轻徭薄赋、体恤民力,不违农时、使民以时,以及约束官吏、勿使扰民等。中国传统民本思想及民生实践促进了近代以来民主思想的发展,对当今推进国家治理现代化亦有重要的借鉴价值。

中国刑事诉讼法治现代化的进程与展望

作为中国式法治现代化的重要维度,刑事诉讼法治在习近平法治思想的引领下实现了现代化的理念更新。以人民群众的新期盼为目标,中国刑事诉讼法治在司法体制改革中推进现代化,通过司法体制综合配套改革、国家监察体制改革、以审判为中心的诉讼制度改革,取得了影响深远的实践成就。在改革进程中,刑事诉讼的社会治理功能进一步发挥,人权保障作用更加凸显,国内法治、涉外法治得以统筹推进,执法司法中的顽瘴痼疾得到全面整治。但刑事诉讼法治仍然面临理论供给不足、诉讼资源分配制度不尽合理、权力监督制约架构相对薄弱、社会治理功能有待考察等现实困境。在未来需要从科学理论、知识增量、公正司法、能动司法等多个维度回应刑事诉讼法治现代化的需求。

将习近平法治思想融入高职思政课教学,对于落实立德树人根本任务、坚定法治自信、培育高职学生法治素养和对标职业教育人才培养意义深远。在习近平法治思想融入高职思政课的教学具体过程中,存在内容、形式和效果等现实困境,应以习近平法治思想为引领培育法治思维,提升法治素养;以横纵两维度打破教学设计藩篱,整合教学内容;以“八个相统一”为指导推动各种教学方法创新,提升教学实效。

习近平“用法律保障民族团结”重要论述的学理阐释

习近平同志关于“用法律保障民族团结”的重要论述,既是对民族平等宪法原则和全面依法治国基本方略的重申,又是对我国依法治理民族事务历史经验的总结和升华,并在战略层面上,将依法治理民族事务纳入“全面依法治国”“全面推进中国式现代化”的工程体系之中。在这个意义上,“用法律保障民族团结”在依法治理民族事务中居于枢纽地位。其标志着中国民族事务治理由政策思维向法治思维转变,由线性思维向系统思维转变,由工具思维向价值思维转变。法治思维之要义在于确立“法治”在民族事务治理中的世界观地位;系统思维之要义在于确立“统筹兼顾”在民族事务治理中的方法论地位;价值思维之要义在于“民族团结”在民族事务治理中的价值论地位。

习近平法治思想中的重大实践创新及形成机制

系统归纳、提炼习近平法治思想中的重大实践创新及其背后所遵循的理性生产机制具有重要意义。习近平法治思想实践创新的根本前提是习近平总书记在马克思主义实践观指引下,以政治家的高屋建瓴、思想家的磅礴力量对法治中国的形势与战略进行的准确分析和深刻判断。习近平法治思想中的重大实践创新主要表现在全面依法治国的思维方式重大创新、全面依法治国的总体布局重大创新、全面依法治国适应新时代鲜明特征的重大创新等三个方面,形成了具有原创性的实践创新机制。这些机制创新作用于典型场景,为全面依法治国发生历史性变革、取得历史性成就提供了重要保障。习近平法治思想实践创新具有重大意义与显著优势,在未来更多的法治课题上,习近平法治思想的实践创新伟力还将发挥更多的破题、引领作用,需要通过习近平法治思想中自主实践知识体系的转型来进一步把握未来各种法治实践场景中蕴含的新规律,推动知识转型。

超越范式之争——文史哲法学的前提、立场与展望

文史哲是中国文化鲜明的标志性特征。笔者尝试提出的文史哲法学,既是立足于中国传统与实践,又是面向世界的具有普遍性样态的法学范式,理应成为建构中国自主知识体系和话语体系的法学目标。有别于教义法学和社科法学的研究旨趣,文史哲法学是一种全新视角的法学研究范式,它倡导厚植于中国的文史哲传统。其中,文学是法学素材的来源,史学是法学精神的见证,哲学则是法学价值的终极追求。文史哲法学旨在沟通中国历史传统与当下实践,侧重将文史哲作为工具和视角来研究人文与法学的互动关系,将人文价值和生活实践统一于法学研究场域之内,在保持统一性的前提下追求普遍性与实践性向度。中华法治文明在保持其独立个性、赋能文化自信的同时,也能为纾解人类的法律工具主义困境提供中国方案,促使法学脱离封闭的教条式思维模式与理论的窠臼,进而更好地为中国法学的本土化发展奠定坚实基础。

中国共产党百年以来思想建设的历史沿革、文化基础及其制度启示

思想建设是党的建设的首要任务和中心环节。党的二十大提出要全面加强党的思想建设。理论建设和思想武装是党的思想建设的基本内容和主要任务。回望我党百年以来思想建设的历史沿革,可探索出中国共产党思想建设的文化基础和制度启示。中国共产党思想建设的文化基础的活水之源就是马克思主义及其中国化;其基础的根脉之土离不开中华优秀传统文化。中国共产党百年以来思想建设的制度启示主要是,务必以习近平法治思想为党的思想建设制度化的根本指针和行动指南,以十九届四中全会精神和《中央党内法规制定工作第二个五年规划(2018-2022年)》为制度建构的规划蓝图,将思想建党和制度治党相结合,实现党的建设制度化务必以马克思主义的创新发展为根本导向。

生态环境分区管控的基本逻辑、运行样态与法治进路

生态环境分区管控作为中国生态文明建设领域的特色制度创新,不仅是优化国土空间保护利用新格局的战略部署,也是习近平生态文明思想引领下的实践范例。对生态环境分区管控的逻辑论证和运行观察,发现:作为生态环境源头预防的基本性制度,生态环境分区管控根植于空间转向理论,蕴含着深厚的空间治理逻辑;生态环境分区管控以实现空间正义为价值目标,法治化是其制度发展的应然理路;法制供给滞后、法律内容残缺、配套机制缺失是掣肘生态环境分区管控战略实施和制度转型的主要动因。因此,提出要在明确立法策略的基础之上,按照内外在机理构筑生态环境分区管控的法治体系。
