道德与法律的关系是伦理学、法学与哲学发展的一个重要问题。社会主义道德与法律的关系问题是马克思主义学说的重要组成部分。“依法治国”和“以德治国”不是并列的、对立的,不能互相替代,而是互相促进、互相渗透、互为补充的。从某种意义上说,道德可以防患于未然,而法律总是事后诸葛亮,但惟其是事后诸葛亮,才能够亡羊补牢,以儆效尤。 The relationship between morality and law is an important issue in the development of ethics, law and philosophy. The issue of the relationship between socialist morality and law is an important part of Marxist theory. “Ruling the country according to law” and “governing the country with morality” are not parallel and opposite. They can not substitute each other, but rather promote each other, penetrate each other and complement each other. In a sense, morality can be averted in the first place, and the law is always clever in the aftermath. However, only by hindsight can it be possible to remedy the situation by force.
