Abstract
At the heart of modern society and states is the concept of the rule of law as a fundamental principle. In the context of Stoicism, it is considered as a moral principle and Roman legal philosophy for removing arbitrariness from political judgments, practices, and processes. Accordingly, this article’s main goal is to examine the phenomenon of modern states, which began in Europe but has since spread to many other regions of the world, in terms of the rule of law as this notion is the basis for all modern states (i.e., positive law). A comparative study is conducted in this regard in order to compare and contrast Western legal precedents such as Stoicism, Rechtsstaat [rule of law], also known as État de droit in French and Stato di diritto in Italian, with respect to its philosophical and historical development over time. The relevant literature was analyzed in order to determine the best method. In this framework, the study explores the notions of Rechtsstaat as the German, État de droit as the French, and Stato di diritto as the Italian philosophy of law.
现代社会和国家的核心是法治这一基本原则。在斯多葛主义的背景下,它被认为是一种道德原则和罗马法律哲学,旨在消除政治判断、实践和过程中的任意性。因此,本文的主要目标是研究现代国家的现象,这种现象始于欧洲,但后来蔓延到世界许多其他地区,就法治而言,这一概念是所有现代国家(即实在法)的基础。在这方面进行了比较研究,以便比较和对比西方法律先例,如斯多亚主义,Rechtsstaat[法治],也称为État de droit法语和Stato di diritto意大利语,就其哲学和历史发展而言。通过对相关文献的分析,确定最佳方法。在此框架下,本研究探讨了德语的Rechtsstaat、法语的État de droit和意大利法哲学的Stato di diritto等概念。
