摘要
形式理性法在韦伯的法律社会学中具有极为重要的意义,它是韦伯考察西方近代以来社会逐渐理性化的关键。一方面,这一范畴暗含了西方法律对个体自由的保障;另一方面,它又适应了西方世界袪魅之后日益抽象化的社会。形式理性法的形成是多种因素综合作用的产物:从法律的内部视角来看,罗马法在中世纪的复兴与继受、西方法律教育与法律职业的兴起以及以法国民法典和德国民法典为代表的法典化运动皆对法律的形式理性化起了推动作用;从外部视角来看,经济、政治与宗教等因素自身的理性化与法律的形式理性化有着亲和性。韦伯形式理性法思想承载着现代性最基本的意涵,中国法治建设应当遵守这一底线,并从制度上加以保障。
Formal rational law is of great significance in Weber’s sociology of law, which is the key to his study of the rationalization of modern Western society. On the one hand, this category implies the protection of individual freedom by Western law;on the other hand, it adapts to the increasingly abstract society after the disenchantment of the western world. Formal rational law is the product of many factors. From the internal perspective of law, the revival and succession of Roman law in the Middle Ages, the rise of legal education and legal profession in the West, and the codification movement represented by the French Civil Code and the German Civil Code all promoted the formal rationalization of law. From the external perspective, the rationalization of economic, political and religious factors is closely related to the formal rationalization of law. Weber’s thought of formal rational law bears the most basic meaning of modernity. The construction of rule of law in China should abide by this bottom line and be guaranteed by system.
