权利能力概念的形成和变迁

为了表达法律人（Person）承担权利的资格这种属性,实现法律概念的精确化,德国学者提出了权利能力的概念。然而,由于权利的意志之力本质和无意志者的权利能力之间的矛盾以及权利能力平等和权利能力限制之间的矛盾,权利能力概念的内涵处于不断变化之中。总体来看,权利能力概念的形成使得法律人的概念解体了,人的要素分化为人格、权利能力等个别的制度。而权利能力在本质上仅仅是法律人在实证法上的一种属性。

On Formation and Development of the"Capability of Rights"Concept

In order to express the attribute of the person’s capacity to enjoy rights and to clarify the legal concept, German scholars have established the concept of the "Capability of Rights". However, such concept is under constant development due to the contradiction between power of will which is the essence of right and such right for those in lack of power of will, and similarly due to the contradiction of equality and limitation of the "Capability of Rights". Generally speaking, the concept of the "Capability of Rights" has disintegrated the concept of person into different elements such as personality and Capability of Rights. In essence, the Capability of Rights is an attribute of the person in positive law.
