中国传统司法功能的价值意蕴与现代启示

中国传统的司法具有“救济”“止争”“制权”的功能，而这些功能都服务于“善”这一价值目标。以“善”为核心，以“天道—善—德”为基本结构的“道德体系”，构成了传统司法功能的价值渊源。该道德体系具体表现为“无私”、“和合”、“易与不易”等观念，这些观念约束着司法的具体运作。在司法现代化的进程中，挖掘传统以“善”为中心的司法价值中的有益成分，吸收“情、理、法”融合的司法运作模式的长处，对于建立符合中国国情与民情的现代纠纷解决机制具有重要意义。

The Value Implication and Modern Enlightenment of Traditional Chinese Judicial Function

Traditional Chinese judicature has the functions of "relieving","stopping struggle",and "controlling power",which all serve the value goal of "goodness".The value origin of the traditional judicial function is composed of the "moral system" with the core of "goodness" and the basic structure of "natural law-goodness-morality".The moral system is embodied in the concepts of "selflessness","harmony",and "the changed and unchanged",which constrain the concrete operation of justice.In the process of judicial modernization,the beneficial elements of the traditional judicial value centered on "goodness" should be excavated,and the advantages of the judicial operation mode of "emotion,reason and law" should be absorbed.It is of great significance to establish a modern dispute settlement mechanism in accordance with China's national conditions and people's conditions.
