晋商文化之法价值探微

文章以埃利希的“活法”为切入点,指出晋商文化中指导、规范、调整其商业行为的规章、制度、惯例是一种“活法”,其内部蕴涵着许多法的价值。同时分析晋商文化中法价值的基本特质:厚重的商德文化离不开正义的支持;顽强执著的敬业进取精神来源于利益的激励;规范的经营环境取决于秩序的保障;持续的资本增殖来源于效率的维系;良好的商业氛围得益于和谐的崇尚。在此基础上引发笔者深思,这种“活法”没有强制力的保障却得以很好的实施,探其缘由得益于“活法”的权威,并以此为启发指出在市场经济条件下敦促经济人自觉守法,解决法律实施难的路径便是树立法的工具合理性权威和价值合理性权威。最后点明中国的法治需要中国传统法文化的挖掘、超越与创新,以推动法治进程。
