市民社会培育与中国法治进程

历史表明,西方市民社会的兴起促进了近代法治的生成,而古中国国家兼并社会的一体化社会结构,则为“东方专制主义”传统奠定了重要基础。因此,中国要走向法治,关键的不是简单的制度构建和体制运作,更不是工具化的依法治理,而是积极培育中国的市民社会,构筑法治的深层社会根基。

The Cultivation of Civic Society and the Progress of Ruling by Law in China

It's shown in the history that,the rise of civic society in the Western World advanced the production of law ruling of modern times,while the universal social structure in which the country annexed the society in ancient China laid the important foundations for the traditional "Oriental autocracy".Thus,if China wants to take a law-ruling road,it's important to cultivate a civic society of China and to constitute the deep social basis of law ruling,instead of building simple construction or operation of system or even ruling by law instrumentally.
