贺卫方(以下简称贺):非常荣幸,在今天突然降温的时刻来到特别温暖的中山大学法学院,今晚我们将进行对话式的交流。大家看到这个题目,可能会想到我的同事朱苏力教授写的一本书《法治及其本土资源》,这可以说是他的成名作。我们经常会共同地去思考中国法治这样的一些问题。朱苏力教授1992年回国后就开始潜心思考中国的法理学或者说法治到底朝哪个方向走的问题。这个问题思考的结果,就是成就了他的《法治及其本土资源》这本书。特别有意思的是,他在美国留学七年,接受了非常完整的人文科学和法学的训练,而留洋回来居然倡导本土资源,认为法治的基本根基要立足于本土资源。当然本土资源到底是什么含义,苏力先生认为很多人对他有些误读。与其说本土资源是我们的历史资源,不如说是我们这些国民在生活实践中创造出来的一些非正式制 He Weifang (hereinafter referred to as He): It is a great honor to suddenly cool down today to a particularly warm Zhongshan University School of Law tonight we will conduct a dialogue. When you see this topic, you may think of a book written by my colleague, Professor Zhu Suli, “The Rule of Law and Its Local Resources,” which can be said to be his fame. We often think collectively about such issues as the rule of law in China. After returning to China in 1992, Professor Zhu Suli began to devote himself to thinking about China’s jurisprudence or what direction the rule of law should go in the end. The result of this question of thinking is the achievement of his book Law and Local Resources. What is particularly interesting is that he studied for seven years in the United States and received a very complete training in humanities and jurisprudence. However, he actually advocated the indigenous resources in his return to Japan and believed that the fundamental foundation of the rule of law should be based on local resources. Of course, what is the meaning of local resources in the end, Mr. Su Li that many people misunderstand him. China’s indigenous resources are not so much our historical resources as some informal institutions created by our nationals in their life practice
