法教义学的基本功能:从刑法学视域的思考

中国法学界系统地研究法教义学之功能的专门作品目前尚很少见。研究法教义学的功能,旨在回答法教义学的服务对象问题。若其功能不明,则必然会引发立场、方法与主体性之争,导致法教义学成为一种"无底盘的游戏"。法教义学乃是法学家针对规范适用、规范评价、规范塑造展开的理论建构与知识储备,具有司法与立法两个基本面向。其中,司法面向的法教义学具有三重功能:个案的妥当性解决、案件处理之间的协同性与理清社会发展的理想。立法面向的法教义学则是通过教义分析,明确法规范中存在的矛盾之处、有违明确性原则之处或处罚漏洞等,从而促进立法改进,确保法律良善。

The Basic Functions of Legal Dogmatic:Reflections from the Perspective of Criminal Law Studies

Few domestic scholars have systematically made research on the function of legal dogmatic. Studying the function of legal dogmatic is to answer the question of the service object of legal dogmatic. If the function is not clear,there are certain disputes over stance,method and subjectivity,making legal dogmatic become a"game without chassis". Legal dogmatic is the theoretical construction and knowledge reserve made by jurists,who focus on the application,evaluation and shaping of norms,involving justice and legislation. Among them,the legal dogmatic of justice has three functions: the proper settlement of cases,the collaboration among case handling and the ideal of understanding social development. Based on the doctrinal analysis,the legal dogmatic of legislation identifies the contradictions in the criminal norms,the violation of the principle of definiteness,the loopholes of punishment,etc.,making the legislation improved and the law better.
