During the same period that Martin Krygier published several of his most important articles on the rule of law, he was also at work on an ambitious interpretation of the social theory of the U.S. sociologist, Philip Selznick (1919–2010). In the resulting volume, Philip Selznick: Ideals in the World (2012), Krygier generously acknowledged Selznick’s influence on his own intellectual development and emphasized the importance of Selznick’s treatment of the rule of law. My essay considers Krygier and Selznick’s distinctive commitments to studying the rule of law as both moral ideal and social institution shaped by extralegal forces. Following a brief survey of Selznick’s contributions, I consider elements of commonality and contrast in their common concern to recognize the limits and vindicate the promise of the rule of law.

克雷吉尔和塞尔兹尼克与法治

在马丁·克雷吉尔（Martin Krygier）发表法治的最重要文章的同一时期，他还致力于对美国社会学家菲利普·塞尔兹尼克（Philip Selznick，1919–2010）的社会理论进行雄心勃勃的解释。菲利普·塞尔兹尼克（Philip Selznick）：世界理想（2012），克雷吉尔（Krygier）慷慨地承认了塞尔兹尼克（Selznick）对他自己的智力发展的影响，并强调了塞尔兹尼克（Selznick）处理法治的重要性。我的文章认为克雷吉尔和塞尔兹尼克在研究法治方面的独特承诺既是道德理想又是法外力量塑造的社会制度。在对塞尔兹尼克的贡献进行了简要调查之后，我考虑了共同点和对比点，因为它们共同关心的是认识到极限并维护法治的承诺。
