摘　　要：树立和形成当代中国公民的道德品格与形态,需要建立适当的宪政原则,要"依法治国"。从儒家生命伦理出发,适宜的宪政原则不是个人的基本权利原则,而是个人的基本美德及其培养的原则,诸如仁、义、礼、智、信、孝、和等等。这将意味着以下六个方面的原则内容:后备权利;差等责任;公平待遇;社会宽容;伦理设防;教育优先。首先,这些美德及其原则乃是几千年来中国文化的主流及其优秀成分的概括和重构;其次,中国历史中的其他文化传统都可以利用这些美德原则;第三,任何国家都不可能找到真正的价值中立原则来建构自己的宪政。面对虚无主义的挑战,我们的事业不但需要对付消极虚无主义,也要对付积极虚无主义。Constitutional principles help form the moral character of the Chinese citizens. From the perspective of Con-fucian bioethics,constitutional principles do not refer to personal rights;rather,they are principles of civic vir-tues,such as benevolence,righteousness,rites,intelligence,trust,fidelity and harmony. Accordingly the six con-stitutional principles are:fallback rights,differentiated obligations,fair treatment,societal tolerance,ethical pro-hibition,and education priority. This view has three sufficient reasons:these principles are the essence of thetime-honored Chinese culture;they apply to the non-Confucian cultures in China;these principles are not strict-ly neutral in the sense of moral value,and no other principles are.
