西方自然法思想的演变与发展

摘要
西方的自然法思想历经两千多年的发展经久不衰，并一直是西方政治法律思想的核心，自在古希腊城邦时期发源以后几经嬗变，经历了自然主义自然法时期、神学主义自然法时期、古典主义自然法时期、新自然法时期等几个阶段，成为人类历史上最重要的法律思想。考察自然法不同阶段的思想内容，发现其内涵与外延时伸时缩，难以明确的定义，其发展至今所经历的几种不同形态都赋予了自然法不同的内涵，即便是同一时期的思想家对自然法的定义有时也是大相径庭。但不管怎么变动，追求正义与理性、理想与道德、自由与平等的核心价值观念上，始终具有连续性。虽然由于时代所限，自然法学家们对正义、道德、自由的内涵所作的解释不尽相同，但自然法的理念、自然法的基本主旨以及自然法本身所蕴含的理性主义精神仍然是一脉相承的。
