习惯法/民间法研究范式的批判性理解——兼论社会控制概念在法学研究中的运用可能

概念是进行科学研究的基本分析工具,同时具有促进和制约研究的辩证属性,因此需要对概念进行反思。“习惯法”、“民间法”这两个概念对于挑战和批判“法律中心主义”具有重要学术贡献。但是“习惯法”、“民间法”概念定义过于宽泛,使其作为一种研究范式不能很好地对不同性质和不同运作方式的规范进行必要的区分,从而导致这种研究范式具有局限性。在法学研究中,可以尝试用“社会控制”概念来弥补习惯法/民间法研究范式的不足。

Critical Cognition of the Research Paradigm of Customary Law/Folk Law: Concurrently on the Possibility of Applying the Social-control Concept in Jurisprudence Research

Concepts include elementary analysis apparatus in scientific research and have a dialectical nature of encouragement as well as limitation.Thus,concepts need to be considered carefully.Both customary law and folk law have academic significance to challenge and criticize "law-oriented ideas." However,since the definitions of the two concepts are too wide to serve as a good research paradigm, thus to differentiate norms with different natures and operative principles,the function of the research paradigm is limited.While doing jurisprudence research work,one may grasp the social control concept to remedy the deficiency of the paradigm of customary law/folk law.
