当代中国立法的道德考量

在现代民主法治社会中,立法难免对性道德问题进行回应。在理解道德立法方面,我们可以从西方自由主义政治哲学的有关论述中得到启发。在论证道德立法的正当性问题上,结合美国联邦最高法院在性道德领域内的判例,我们将道德纳入立法的表现形式归纳为社会秩序、公共道德和社会环境。我国目前正处于一个道德回归和社会价值观重建的时期,立法无法避免要对性道德问题进行回应。我们一方面应当谨慎对待立法的道德化,防止立法对私人道德的过度干预;另一方面需要发扬民族传统道德,发挥公共道德对社会价值整合的力量。

Moral Considerations of Lawmaking in Contemporary China

In modern democratic legal system country, lawmaking might not avoid responding to sexual moral issues. In the terms of understanding the moral lawmaking, we may learn enlightment from western liberal political philosophers' theories. As to the justifications for moral lawmaking, drawing lessons from the United States' Supreme Court cases of sexual moral, moral might be absorbed into lawmaking by three types, social order, public moral and social environment. Today, facing a return of moral and social values reorganization, legislation can not avoid responding to moral. On the one hand, we should carefully respond to moral lawmaking and prevent legislative intervening excessly in private morality. On the other hand, we should carry forward the traditional moral and exert public moral power of renovating social values.
