经济领域的法的新架构与商法的复兴——评徐学鹿著《商法总论》

我国长期的计划经济体制 ,使商法一度遭受冷落。随着社会主义市场经济观念的确立 ,商法的地位和作用正日趋显现。时至今日 ,我国加入WTO在即 ,商法的国际统一化已是国际社会的普遍要求 ,复兴我国商法不仅具有重要的现实意义 ,而且更具有深远的历史意义。但在我国法学界 ,“民商合一”的论调久已有之 ,似乎已早成定说 ,这一理论误区极大地阻碍了商法地位的确立和作用的发挥。徐学鹿教授所著《商法总论》一书 ,堪称商法基础理论研究领域的创新之作 ,对传统的商法理论误区给予了深刻的剖析。它雄辩地论证了商法演进的四个阶段 ,以及商法的概念、地位和独特内涵 ;鲜明地指出 ,在我国商法现代化建设过程中 ,商法是民法的特别法的传统观点应予放弃 ,应选择与我国社会主义市场经济发展相适应的“第三条道路”。这一切 ,无不对如何构筑我国经济领域的法的新框架与我国商法的复兴 ,提供了崭新的思路

New Fabric of Law in Economic Field and Revival of Commercial Law

Commercial law suffered from absent treatment once in China because of the long planned economic system. With the establishment of the social market oriented economic concept,the position and function of the commercial law manifest themselves day by day. It is the universal request in the world for every country to unify the commercial law. The moment China soon enters the WTO,to revive China's commercial law is not only of immediate significance,but also of far reaching historic significance. Unfortunately,the view on combination of the civil law and the commercial law has long existed in China and it seemed to be the final conclusion long ago. This misunderstanding in theory greatly hinders establishing the position of the commercial law and exerting its function. The book Pandect of the Commercial Law written by Professor XU Xue lu,which makes a penetrating analysis of the theoretical misunderstandings in the traditional commercial law,may be feted as an original work in the research field of the basic theory of the commercial law. It expounds and proves the conception,the position,and the unique connotation of the commercial law as well as the four stages by which the law has been developed,clearly pointing out that the traditional standpoint that the commercial law is the special one of the civil law,in the process of China's modernized construction of the commercial law,should be given up,and that we should choose "the third road" meeting the development of the China's socialist market oriented economy--all this invariably provides a completely new train of thought for how to configure a new frame of law in China's economic field and how to revive the commercial law in China.
