About: Rule of man

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Rule of man (where "man" is used in a genderless manner) is a type of personal rule in an unaccountable rebounded society where rules change from ruler to ruler. It is a society in which one person, regime, or a group of persons, rules arbitrarily. While rule of man can be explained as the absence of rule of law, this theoretical understanding results in a paradox. Realism dictates that man and law do not stand apart and that the rules of each are not opposites. Rather law depends deeply on a state composed of men.

  • Rule of man (where "man" is used in a genderless manner) is a type of personal rule in an unaccountable rebounded society where rules change from ruler to ruler. It is a society in which one person, regime, or a group of persons, rules arbitrarily. While rule of man can be explained as the absence of rule of law, this theoretical understanding results in a paradox. Realism dictates that man and law do not stand apart and that the rules of each are not opposites. Rather law depends deeply on a state composed of men. On the other hand, as a positive concept, the rule of man, "a man capable of ruling better than the best laws", was championed in ancient Greek philosophy and thinking as early as Plato. The debate between rule of man versus rule of law extends to Plato's student Aristotle, and to Confucius and the Legalists in Chinese philosophy. (en)
  • 人治（英語：rule of man），指政府權力不受限制，依靠执政者的贤明来治理国家的方式和理论主张，其理想化的最佳政治模式是「賢人政治」。人治是一個用來特意表明跟法治相反情況的詞彙，當用抽象的講法，說法治是法律在人之上，則會說人治是有人在法律之上。除了沒有人管治之無政府狀態，不是法治的情況則是人治，包括「法治國家」而立法權不受約束也是人治。 (zh)
