《超验正义——宪政的宗教之维》这本书的前言中有这样一段话:立宪政府的理论和实践可能是西方世界所取得的最大的政治成就。这一成就既不是一个世纪也不是一个民族所造就的。因此,我们可以不带任何沙文主义色彩自豪地期望,这一政治成就可能成为全人类永久的遗产。但是,立宪政府的生成是否以存在一种宗教的和哲学的支持为先决条件?当一种原先培育其成长的宗教和哲学的意向消亡时,该立宪政府是否还能够生存下去?仔细思考这两个问题,实际上可以归结为一个问题,也就是宪政的根本问题——即宪政本身的合法性或者宪政的根基是什么?弗里德里希教授写作《超验正义——宪政的宗教之维》解决的就是这个问题。 The preface to “Transcendental Justice - The Religious Dimension of Constitutional Government” has the following passage in its preface: The theory and practice of a constitutional government may be the greatest political achievement made by the Western world. This achievement is neither created by a century nor by a nation. Therefore, we can proudly expect without any chauvinism that this political achievement may become a permanent legacy for all humankind. But is the constitutional government presupposed the existence of a religious and philosophical support? Will this constitutional government survive if its intention to nurture its growing religion and philosophy vanishes? Consider these two In fact, this problem can be summed up as a problem, that is, the fundamental issue of constitutional government - that is, the legitimacy of constitutionalism or constitutional foundation? Professor Friedrich writes “transcendental justice - the constitutional religious dimension” The solution is this problem.
