精神损害概念再探讨

精神损害是随着侵权精神损害赔偿法律制度的确立而为人所常提及的概念。但是精神损害的客体是什么，与财产损害有何区别，其具体内涵如何，学界意见并不统一，影响了精神损害赔偿的法律适用与完善。精神损害应“是一切非财产利益上的不利益”，宜将其区分为“事实上的精神损害”与“法律上的精神损害”，以更好地理解和完善精神损害赔偿的法律规定。

An approach to the Concept of Spiritual Damage

The concept of spiritual damage is often mentioned alongside the estabishment of the legal system of compensation for the tort of spiritual damage. But there still exist different opinions upon what the object of spiritual damage is, what it differs from the property damage and what the specific intenrtion it states, which have influenced its legal application and improvement. This paper puts forward an opinion and the reasons for it, holding that spiritual damage is against interests of non-property and is classified into two parts: one in fact and another in law. In this way, the stipulations about spiritual damage can be understood in a better way and perfected in legislation.
