民法总论诸问题之功利主义解读

功利主义作为一种哲学思想在西方学术界占有崇高的地位。利用功利主义的方法论和价值观，可以为民法总论的研究提供两个新的思路：一方面。有利于对民法基本问题，如民法的调整对象、民法的性质、民法的基本原则等的解析。另一方面，有利于对法律行为、权利行使和时效问题的解析。当然。功利主义虽然是民事立法与司法中必须考量的重要因素，但它始终不能代替具体的民法制度设计。

Utilitarian Interpretation of Some Issues in the Civil Law Pandects

Utilitarianism as a philosophical thought has a high status in the Western academic circles. The methodology and views of values in utilitarianism provide two new perspectives for the study of the Civil Law Pandects. On the one hand, it can be used to explain some basic issues of the civil laws, such as the objects, nature, and basic principles of civil laws. On the other hand, it helps to get analytical interpretation of such issues as legal actions, rights exercising and legal limitations. Although as an essential factor to be taken into account in legislation and enforcement of laws, utilitarianism can not take the place of the specific institutions of the civil law.
