摘 要:刑法的概念既重要又危险,而如何使其科学化却是被忽视了的法哲学问题。从刑法与道德和政治的关系出发,能够为重新理解刑法的概念开辟新路径。任何时代的刑法都是自己时代的公共道德与政治权力相互结合的产物,只不过由于政治权力的性质不同,这种结合方式亦会不同。现代刑法应具有对公共道德与公共政治进行双向控制的功能,而刑法生活是刑法道德基因所存在、表现的基本场域,回到刑法生活才是尊重和确证刑法之道德基因的基本途径。

Abstract:The concept of criminal law is significant but risky. How to form it scientifically is a legal philosophical problem ignored by people. Setting out from the relationship between criminal law and morality and politics, we may find a new way to reconsider it. Any criminal law in a given period is the product of the union of public ethics and political power of that time, only the natures of political power differ, the ways of union also differ. Modern criminal law should have the function to control both public morality and politics. Criminal life is where criminal law’s gene of morality exists and where it displays itself. So going back to criminal life is a right way to respect and affirm the morality gene of criminal law.
