西欧言论自由的制度范式与近代转换

从制度思想史角度对西欧中世纪言论自由的实现及近代转换进行了初步考察。黑暗时期 ,政教分离的制度范式成为防止思想完全禁锢的有效屏障。在中世纪向近代的过渡阶段 ,绝对主义的制度范式在内容和结构上阻碍着出版自由的可能性 ;近代国家的立宪主义制度范式 ,确立了个体言论自由的法律保障和实现形式 ,在制度内容和结构上达成一致。奥古斯丁、霍布斯和洛克等分别为这些制度范式提供了理论依据。

System Paradigm of Free Speech and Its Transition to Modern Times in Western Europe

The article investigates the realization of free speech in Western Europe in the Middle Ages and its shift to modern times on the history of system thought. In the Dark Ages, the system paradigm that politics was detached from religion had become an available protection from thoughts' complete durance. On transitional phase from the Middle Ages to modern times, the system paradigm of absolutism baffled the possibility of the liberty of the press in content and structure; the system paradigm of constitutionalism in modern country established the lawful safeguard and the form of realization for free speech which led to system content consistent with its structure. Augustine, Hobbes and Locke had provided theoretic foundation for these system paradigm.
