政体与法治:一个思想史的检讨

从思想史的角度,主要有三种法治与政体之间内在理论结构的范式:法治工具主义论、法治目的主义论和法治社会秩序论。法治工具主义是人类社会的普遍现象,法治目的论则是人类社会的特定历史条件下独特的现象。在非宪政的政体之下,法治工具主义与法治目的主义不能并存;而在宪政的政体下,法治工具主义与法治目的主义则可以并存。

Polity and Rule of Law:A Historical Review of Ideas

From the point of the history of idea, there are three inner structural paradigms concerned with the relationship between polity and rule of law:instrumentalism on rule of law, teleology on rule of rule and social order theory on rule of law. Instrumentalism can exist in any kinds of society, whereas te- leology is an unique phenomenon under particular social condition. Instrumentalism and teleology can not coexist under non-constitutional society, but can coexist under constitutional society.
