我们需要什么样的民法总则--与德国民法比较

我国民法体系与德国民法体系有重大差异，根本原因是立法理念和思路不同。德国民法体系是以权利为核心构建的，所反映的法律关系理论属于“权利关系”阶段的理论。我国民法是以法律关系为核心构建的，所反映的法律关系理论属于“权利义务责任关系”阶段的理论。从立法技术上看，我国民法体系与德国民法体系有重大差异的根源在于，民法上责任的概念和内涵及责任与义务的关系有重大差异。由于《德国民法典》是以权利为核心构建的，请求权在民法中占有十分重要的地位。我国民法体系是以法律关系为核心构建的，体现为以权利———义务———责任为主线，我国民法上请求权的功能与德国民法上请求权的功能不同。

While the civil code of our country is built on legal relations,which can be classified into part of the theory on“relations of rights,obligations and liabilities”. From the perspective of legislative methodology,the major difference lies in the concept and connotation of liabilities as well as relations of lia-bilities and obligations. Since German Civil Code is based on rights,the right to claim plays a key role. While in our country,the legal relation is the core of the civil law system which follows the major path of“rights - obligations - liabilities”,thus the right to claim has different functions in our country compared with those in German civil law.
