摘要
近年来有论者认为西方法治和性恶文化有关,中国人治和性善文化有关,因此性善论阻碍了中国法治。但是,西方法治论者并非主张人性恶,性恶论其实更倾向于专制而非法治。性恶论无法支撑法治的原因在于,它无法给人们的自由和道德留下空间,忽视了法治扬善的目的。传统性善论是中国人道德生活之依据,它并不必然开出人治思想,只是由于古代中国社会物质生活条件的限制,无法产生出权力的外部制约思想。由于性善论并未排除对权力作恶的警惕,它和现代法治可以兼容并存。较之性恶论而言,性善论更利于保障自由和人权,更利于法治实施,它可在目的和实施层面为法治奠定人性基础。
In recent years,some scholars consider that the western rule of law relates to culture of evil human nature,and Chinese rule by man relates to culture of good nature.But some great western ideologists advocated that rule of law didn＇t allege original evil human nature.The theory of evil nature tends to despotism instead of rule of law.It is impossible for the theory of evil human nature to leave liberty and morality for human being,and the theory ignores the moral purpose of rule of law,so it can not sustain the theory of rule of law.Chinese theory of good nature is the reason of Chinese moral life,and it does not lead to rule of man inevitably.In ancient China the theory of restriction of powers didn＇t appear because of the limitation of Chinese social material living conditions.The theory of good nature doesn＇t neglect the evil power,and it can be compatible with modern rule of law.This ancient Chinese theory of good nature is better than the theory of evil nature in safeguarding liberty and human right,and actualizing rule of law.It is the humanity basis for rule of law in the aspect of purpose and actualization.
