法治预设与设问修辞——制度性修辞研究之三
谢晖
摘要：法治作为人类治理其交往行为的一种预设，并不总是一套逻辑，也并不总是能够得到逻辑佐证。就预设的本质而言，它是一种制度性修辞，在修辞格上，它又是一种设问修辞。无论亚里士多德的法治论、富勒的法治论，还是美国宪法的一些原则规定，只有在设问修辞的分析视野中，才有可能得到更深入的理解。求助于逻辑，反而会凿枘不通。
The Presupposition of Rule of Law and the Rhetoric Question: a Study of the Institutional Rhetoric (Part III)
Xie Hui
Abstract:As a presupposition of mankind governing their intercourses, the rule of law is not always a kind of logic, and could not always be logically proved either. The presupposition is a kind of institutional rhetoric in nature, and a kind of rhetoric question in figures of speech. Only in an analytical perspective of rhetoric question, we could reach a deeper understanding of the theories of rule of law by Aristotle and Lon L. Fuller, as well as of some principles in the Constitution of the United States. It would be incompatible if turning to the logic.
