备注

西方法律思想已成为我国法治建设中无法回避的一部分,关键在于采用何种立场、思维和方法来定位和认识西方法律思想。《西方法治思想精义》以我国法治建设经验及法治秩序思考作为隐含着的逻辑起点,系统地对西方法律思想中法治正当性、法治目标、立法及守法进行了经典论述。不能简单地将其视为是关于西方法律思想知识的整理分析,要洞见背后从知识立场向法治立场转换的逻辑,意识到对法治秩序的探讨应该采用普遍性、开放式思维的内在规定性。“思想、制度、实践”三位一体的写作进路也能够增强可阅读性,有利于法治思想的传播。

Even if the Western legal thought has become an unavoidable part in the construction of the rule of law in China, the critical point lies in what stand, thinking and method we would take to position and understand it. Taking the experience of China's construction of the rule of law and the thinking of the legal order as an implicit logical starting point, The Essence of Western Thoughts on Rule of Law studies systematically the discussion of Western legal thoughts on the legitimacy and goal of the rule of law, the legislation and observing the law, which can't be simply taken as the sorting and analysis of Western legal thoughts. It is necessary to see logically the change from the position of knowledge to that of the rule of law and explore the legal order from the perspective of universality, open mind and inherent regularity. The “three-in-one” writing technique of ideology, system, and practice enhances the readability and the spread of legal thoughts in this book.
