论司法观念的转型:从工具型到目的型

司法观念的现代化是司法现代化的先导,它要求摒弃工具型司法观,走向目的型司法观。工具型司法观从本质上否认了司法自身独立的价值追求,具有很大的现实危害性。它表现为维护封建皇权的工具、阶级斗争的工具、经济建设的工具等。目的型司法观就是“以人为本”的司法观,强调充分保障人的权利,这是人类文明进步的理性要求。2004年宪法修正案为目的型司法观的构建奠定了宪政基础,但这一司法观的构建将是一个漫长而痛苦的过程。

Transformation of Judicial Ideas: from Instrumental to Targeted Ones

Modernization of judicial ideas comes before judicial modernization,and it is supposed to transform from instrumental judicial ideas to targeted ones.Instrumental ideas deny judicial independence in essence;do great harm to judicial systems: such ideas are viewed as instrument for feudalistic royal power,class struggle and economic construction,and so on.Targeted judicial ideas are human-centered and protect human rights so as to meet the needs of human civilization and progress.2004 constitution amendment has laid a constitutional foundation for the construction of targeted ideas;however,it is still a rough and long way to construct such ideas.
