Should Law track Morality?

Does the moral status of an action provide in itself a non-instrumental, pro-tanto reason for a corresponding legal status—a reason that applies regardless of whether the law promotes a value that is independent of the law, such as preventing wrongdoing or promoting utility or distributive or retributive justice, regardless of the consequences of doing so? While the relation between morality and law is a familiar topic, this specific question is rarely discussed explicitly. Yet it seems to be controversial. The article highlights and considers this question, while focusing on the criminal law. It concludes that the answer is negative—there is no necessary relation between morality and law in this respect. Rather, there is a reason in favor of incorporating morality into the law only when this incorporation promotes a moral value that is independent of the law.     

保险纠纷样态与法价值因求：以司法归责标准为限度

保险产品的多样化与经营机制并未有机相辅,新《保险法》仍未修订的原则性条款使司法主体在保险诉讼案件中难以掌握具体法律标准,司法裁判的结果不能有效均衡保险争讼双方的权义配置,须在民商法和经济法双重法律范畴内考察保险关系,以保险立法理论和价值理念为进路确立保险纠纷解决的归责标准。     

民主价值的司法维护机理

民主治理的理念、权利保障的意识和权力制约的价值取向是现代宪法的基本精神,维护和实现宪法的民主价值是人民主权的内在要求,也是司法的应有功能。司法的组织结构、程序机制和管辖范围决定了法院可以通过政治渠道的疏通实现形式民主与实质民主的有机统一,通过价值整合实现民主秩序结构与文化秩序结构的有机融合,通过宪法阐释实现法律意志与公众政治意愿的有机结合,从而有效解决形式民主与实质民主、集体自主与个人选择、过去的法律意志与现时的民众意愿之间的冲突。

Value is Simple. Valuation is Complex

Value can appear so complicated that it is not only a terribly intimidating topic, but actually fruitless to pursue. That is, the concept of value is either a dead end or best left to the experts. We disagree. At the most general level, having value can be understood as having the capacity to be measured and compared against another thing (or a standard). This is consistent with Marxian concepts (which are elaborated with special reference to the capitalist value form), but it is also simple and general enough to provide a transportable frame for discussing the role of value and measurement in any context imaginable, whether it be a discussion of spiritualism, collective action, economic data, or physical science. Marx directs our attention to the political constitution of systems of measure on the very first page of Capital, and there is now a great deal of work in geography and in science and technology studies on the social constitution of systems of valuation. We believe a crucial topic deserves an accessible approach that reveals unities rather than barriers, and thus supplement them with the moral and critical political-economic critique made possible by Marxian value theory.     

“无罪推定”原则与我国刑事诉讼法

我国无罪判决率明显较低,20世纪80年代至90年代初,全国无罪判决基本上维持在每年2000件左右,占全部刑事案件的千分之四左右,到90年代末无罪率有所提高,最近几年无罪判决数量增加明显,每年的无罪判决超过6000件,无罪判决率也只有百分之一左右。我国是否应当在法律上明确规定无罪推定原则？刑诉法第12条只是吸收了无罪推定的某些精神,但尚未确定无罪推定。无罪推定在我国的确定仍是刑诉法修改的一个未完成的课题。     

检察机关法律监督权和诉讼权优化配置的价值和技术分析

检察机关法律监督权和诉讼权的关系,在价值和技术层面上展开讨论,就是价值和技术关系的问题。法律监督权和诉讼权优化配置应当遵循相应的价值理念和技术规则,并且应该根据实践中两者关系出现的价值和技术问题进行改进,并使之相对分离。     

洛克视野下的有限政府理论

出生于1632年的洛克,是17世纪英国著名的政治思想家,有限政府理论是其政治思想的精髓。本文从自然状态出发,结合人与自然的关系,个人自然权利、社会契约论、权力分立和有限政府的权力与义务对洛克有限政府理论进行了较详细、系统的阐述,旨在突出洛克有限政府理论中有当代价值的观点,从而为我们的政府建设提供重要的启示和借鉴作用。     

公益广告中社会价值观的多元化表现

公益广告中社会价值观的多元化是由公益广告本身的内容的不确定性特点和当前我国社会变革时期社会价值观的多样性所决定的,应当处理好多元化与统一性的关系,使公益广告充分发挥为社会文明建设服务的作用。
