论普法中的公民意识培养——“秋菊的困惑”引发的思考

我国的法治建设已经进入"普法型法治"时期。我国普法教育的目标在于培养公民意识。要培养公民意识,普法教育就必须反对法治的精英主义,将普法从文字层面提升到权利意识层面。在普法的过程中,传统法律文化的影响不可被忽视。     

对“法律六进”的法治文化思考

“法律六进”(进机关、进乡村、进社区、进学校、进企业、进单位)是在总结二十多年法制宣传教育经验的基础上,在“五五”普法规划中提出的一项普法教育新举措。笔者认为,对“法律六进”除了应该在实践和政策层面进行探索以外,还应该在法治文化层面上进行充分的思考与研讨。一般     

关于新形势下法制宣传工作的文化思考

文化是一种人类社会现象,包括物质生活和精神社会两方面。文化思考包涵着理念、心理、规律、形式、效果、品位以及思辩性理论等等。关于法制宣传工作的文化思考,涉及到以下三个方面。(一)从法治文化的角度认识法制宣传工作在法制建设中的地位和作用:1、法律的历史并不等于法治的历史。据史书《左传》记载,中国法律的产生可以追溯到四千年前的夏朝。但是,法制并不等同于法治。普法,掀开了共和国民主与法制建设史上新的一页。新中国成立后颁布的第一部法律是《婚姻法》,普法也是从《婚姻法》开始的。经过近20年的普法教育,中国人的法制观念确…     

改革开放以来法律文化变迁述评

改革开放以来,中国社会全面进入转型期,法律文化也随之经历了较为明显的变迁过程。这是一个多元法律文化不断冲突与整合,从义务本位到权利本位,从公法文化一枝独秀到公法文化与私法文化共同繁荣的过程,也是一个从单一强化政策文化到不断强化法治文化,从热衷于法律的工具性特征到认同法律的价值性特征,以及内隐法律文化明显滞后于外显法律文化发展的过程。尽管如此,变迁后的当代中国法律文化与现代法律文化的差距仍然很大,要实现法律文化的现代化,必须不断推进经济政治文化体制改革,理性继承中国传统法律文化和大胆移植西方法律文化并加以本土化,强化法制教育和普法工作,树立公民法律信仰。     

进一步健全社会普法机制的思考

在当前全面推进依法治国的大背景下,普法教育作为法治建设的一项基础性工程显得尤为必要,而社会普法机制是开展普法教育的有效架构,是提高普法教育实效性的基础所在。十八届三中全会决定提出:"健全社会普法教育机制",四中全会决定又再次强调:"健全普法教育教育机制"。进一步健全普法教育机制,加大统筹力度,更新普法理念,整合各方力量,挖掘教育资源,创新教育手段,是提升普法     

论现代法治的形式理性价值取向——兼与罗峰先生商榷

现代法治的基本品格是形式理性与形式正义。有学者认为 ,法治的形式方面的要求本身并不包含价值评判。这种理解是不正确的。法律的普遍性、至上性和运作的可靠性这些“形式主义”的特征不仅仅是现代法治的外部特征 ,而且它们与形式平等、形式正义这种价值取向是相统一的 ,是形式正义这种价值倾向的体现与表征。形式理性的法虽然有其不足之处 ,但它仍应为我国法制改革与发展的基本价值取向。     

“六五”普法法治文化建设初探

现代国家发展经验证明,法治文化是法治的重要支柱,法治的建立必须要有法治文化作为支柱。推进社会主义法治文化建设,是一个既具有前瞻性,又具有时代性的课题。一、当前法治文化建设中的问题"六五"普法实施阶段,深入推进社会主义法治文化建设尤为重要。"六五"普法期间,全民法制宣传教育深入开展,法律进机关、进乡村、进社区、     

淮南：挖掘本土法律文化内涵

“新时期的法制宣传教育已经不能停留在单一普及法律条文上，而是要通过坚持不懈地开展法制宣传教育，树立以崇尚法治、追求法治为取向的文化精神和价值理念……”《淮南市“五五”普法依法治理工作总结》中这样写道。事实上，正是基于这样的认识．淮南普法人不再满足于对法律条文简单地照本宣科，而是注重把法制与本土文化传统相结合，深度挖掘本土法律文化内涵，创新多种普法载体，打造本地普法品牌，营造浓厚的法制氛围。     

新时期深化普法工作之我见

一个国家,建立严密完善的法律体系固然重要,而广泛地宣传法律,传播法治理念,使每一个公民掌握法律知识,树立法治观念,懂法、守法、用法,促进法治国家的建立更为重要。从1986年开始,党中央、全国人大、国务院决定开展全民普法教育工作,19年来,我国已连续实施了近4个五年普法规划     

辽宁省法治文化宣传工作调研报告

“五五”普法开展以来,根据新时期社会文化背景和人民群众精神生活的需求,辽宁省在全省重点开展了以法治文化宣传为主导的普法活动,通过充分利用新闻媒体和社会载体,开展了以“弘扬法治精神,培育法治文化”为主题的系列法治文化宣传活动,为培养全社会信仰法律、崇尚法治以及提升社会法治化管理水平,营造了文明和谐的社会法治氛围。     

法律理性与法律的技术化

现代法律制度的每一个建构性要素及其运作过程的每一个环节,都表现出很强的技术性特征,这使得法律成为一种典型的社会技术。法律技术铸成了法律的确定性,使法律规范系统化;它划定了行为合法与不法的界限,使人们对自己的行为后果更有预期。可以说,技术化是法律理性在形式方面最重要的表现,而实践的特点决定了理性必然是形式理性与实质理性的统一,作为法律价值的载体和法律目的的支持系统,法律技术本身也是法治的基本条件之一。因此,法律的技术性特征及其意义应当受到重视,法律技术的功能也有待于我们加以深入地研究。     

Legal Principles and Legal Theory

Current legal theory is concerned with the presence of principles in law partly because they are at the core of Dworkin's criticisms of Hart's rule of recognition. Hart's theory is threatened by the possibility that the identification of some principles follows an extremely relaxed rule of recognition, or even no rule at all. Unfortunately, there is no conclusive test to ascertain what is the case in actual practice. On the other hand, the evaluative arguments which support Dworkin's proposal of principled adjudication are forceful but not conclusive. Moreover, since ultimate controversy over values is plausible, judicial discretion may sometimes be inevitable.     

Legal Transplants and Legal Downloads

Online legal education has the potential to address a global audience. But little attention has been paid so far to the question of how teaching methods developed in one jurisdiction interact with the substantive law of another legal system. This paper challenges the assumption of the independence of substantive law and law teaching on the basis of a comparative evaluation of online law tutorials in Scotland and Germany. It concludes that the transplanting legal education, as transplanting substantive law, can have unpredictable consequences.     

Legal Positivism and Legal Disagreements

This paper deals with the possibility of faultless disagreement in law. It does this by looking to other spheres in which faultless disagreement appears to be possible, mainly in matters of taste and ethics. Three possible accounts are explored: the realist account, the relativist account, and the expressivist account. The paper tries to show that in the case of legal disagreements, there is a place for an approach that can take into account our intuitions in the sense that legal disagreements are genuine and at times faultless.     

法理和情理

情感并非只能是任性的和不公正的,并非不能作为法律价值的终极来源.从中国儒家的传统哲学思想出发,一种"中和"的情感是可能通过修身渠道获得的,它可以称为情理.以修身作为治国根本,实质上是奠定社会形而上的价值基础的根本.情理可从修身中被发现,并进入日常生活的正义认知中.在法律推理中,情理可以弥补现代法律的价值亏空.     

Legal Theory for Legal Empiricists

There is a widespread view that one does either theory or empirical work, and that theory and empiricism represent distant concerns, opposing worldviews, and perhaps distinct mentalities or personalities. This prevalent view has deep roots and is also the result of pragmatic and understandable tendencies toward division of intellectual labor. Against this view, this essay suggests that the relations between theory and empirical study ought to be understood as more intimate and that making legal theory an explicit focus can improve empirical scholarship. We pursue this claim by articulating a basis for legal theory and by showing how that basis illuminates both the application and design of empirical research on law. Legal theory, we argue, follows jurisprudence in interrogating the law as a set of coercive normative institutions. The upshot of this approach is a recognition that an interdisciplinary analysis of law must rely on both a theory (explicit or implicit) of the way law's power and its normativity align and an account of the way in which this discursive cohabitation manifests itself institutionally. We thus argue that legal theory is necessary in order to draw fruitfully on empirical research and further claim that legal theory provides guidance both for setting up an empirical research agenda on law and for designing research into specific topics.     

法律发展与法律知识化

法律发展首先必须面对合法化与价值诉求问题，而这一切又无不与作为基础的法律主体的知识立场密切相关。如何谋求“法律知识化”、话语合法化以及法律主体的价值立场的有效运作，是法律文明、有效发展的必要途径，也是法律发展话语摒弃规则主义弊端制约而建构自我所不可回避的挑战。从西方国家的经验看，现代法治的确立与以理性化为核心的法律知识化过程密不可分，法律知识化由知识对法律的关系提升、扩展为一种法律观，再由一种法律观落实为一种价值观、方法论，并由此引导法律主体追求和建设一种新的法律文明。更为重要的是，“法律知识化”使法治成为近代法律发展的本质性，把知识化原则导入法律发展领域，从而实现了法律发展的革命性变革。     

Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory Revisited

This article deals with the relation between a theory of law and a theory of legal reasoning. Starting from a close reading of Chapter VII of H. L. A. Hart's The Concept of Law, it claims that a theory of law like Hart's requires a particular theory of legal reasoning, or at least a theory of legal reasoning with some particular characteristics. It then goes on to say that any theory of legal reasoning that satisfies those requirements is highly implausible, and tries to show that this is the reason why not only Hart, but also writers like Neil MacCormick and Joseph Raz have failed to offer a theory of legal reasoning that is compatible with legal positivism as a theory of law. They have faced a choice between an explanation of legal reasoning that is incompatible with the core of legal positivism or else strangely sceptical, insofar as it severs the link between general rules and particular decisions that purport to apply them.     

Global Legal Interaction and Legal Cultures

Abstract . The legal discourse of a steadily growing European legal community and universal legal harmonization is misleading since it abstracts completely from the cultural dimension of law which consist of patterns of interpretation and behavioral routines with respect to law. The article makes use of abundant literature in administrative sciences, international management research and socio-psychological studies in Intercultural Communication in order to propose indicators for a comparison of legal cultures in the areas of European legal integration, international commercial transactions and international lawyering.
