刑法因果关系研究

因果关系问题是刑法理论研究中的一个重要且复杂的问题。长期以来 ,我国刑法因果关系研究一直围绕着“必然性”和“偶然性”、“内因”和“外因”等哲学命题争论不休 ,于司法实践的意义不大。因此 ,如何切换我们的研究视角 ,构建新的研究模式 ,是本文关注的问题之所在。我们通过对英美和欧陆两大法系因果关系理论的介绍和比较 ,认为以英美刑法的“双层次原因”模式为借鉴来建构我国刑法的因果关系理论体系 ,也许是我国刑法因果关系研究走出“必然性”和“偶然性”、“内因”和“外因”等哲学迷障的最优选择

A study of the Criminal Causal Relation

The theory of causation is an important and complicated problem in the field of Criminal Law. We have been altercating the philosophical proposition concerning the necessity and the contingency or the interior cause and the exterior cause in our study of causation for a long period, which has little significance for judicial practices. Therefore, how to switch our visual angle and how to establish the mode of our study are the questions that we concern about. This paper, through introducing and comparing the theories of causation in the Criminal Law of the two legal systems, proposes that we should establish the mode of our study according to the theory of two level causation, and perhaps it is the best way to get rid of the altercation regarding the necessity and the contingency or the interior cause and the exterior cause in the study of causation.
