公法研究范式的构造、确立及其变迁

"范式(Paradigm)"这个原本用来表示词形变化的专业术语,在当下的公法学界已经成为一个时尚语词.任何公法研究其实都有意无意地发生于某种范式之中.公法研究范式由一个被假定为有解的公法学难题、一群持有相同学术见解的公法学人、一套获得普遍认同的理论框架、一个或一些得到广泛模仿的代表性范例这四种基本元素共同构成;公法研究范式的确立因遭遇全新公法难题而起,这是一个代表人物全力倡导与其他学者积极响应的过程,往往以权威教科书的问世作为确立标志;为了"追赶"公法实践,公法研究范式需要无休止的变迁,其方式或者是温和的自我修正,或者是"革命性"的转换.

The Structure, Establishment and Transition of the Research Paradigms of the Study on Public Law

Originally as a term describing the morphological changes,"paradigm" has now become a trendy word in the academic circle of public jurisprudence.This article holds that any public law study is conducted in a certain paradigm,whether deliberately or indeliberately.The paradigms of pubic law study consist of the following four basic elements: a presumably soluble conundrum,a group of scholars holding the same academic views,a universally recognized theoretical framework,one or several widely imitated representative paradigm(s).The establishment of the paradims of public law study is to address the new conundrum facing public law and it is a process in which a pioneering scholar proposes a paradigm without reserve and other scholars actively respond.The establishment of the paradigms of public law study is usually marked by the release of authoritative textbooks.To keep up with the practice of pubic law,the paradigms of public law study need to be in endless transition,the way of which is either mild self-correction or revolutionary change.
