This contribution discusses the links between Martin Krygier’s and Philip Selznick’s work on the ideal of the rule of law. The way Krygier explains and reconstructs Selznick’s theory is helpful, and yet raises questions about the content and application of the ideal. Understanding the development of the rule of law and the interrelation with another central legal ideal, justice, requires not only a realistic assessment but also a theoretical engagement with the ideals at stake.

两个法治理论的现实主义者

这篇文章讨论了马丁·克里斯基（Martin Krygier）和菲利普·塞尔兹尼克（Philip Selznick）关于法治理想的工作之间的联系。克雷吉尔解释和重构塞尔兹尼克理论的方式是有帮助的，但是却引发了关于理想的内容和应用的疑问。要了解法治的发展以及与另一种核心法律理想-正义之间的相互关系，不仅需要进行现实的评估，而且还需要与所面临的理想进行理论上的接触。
