侵权法价值判断的进路

法学上的价值判断是指评价或判断立法规则设计或司法判决是否符合一定的价值准则的活动。侵权法的价值判断存在伦理主义和工具主义两种基本进路,前者将法律与道德密切联系在一起,后者视法律为实现特定社会目标的工具,二者各有短长,因此妥当的选择是采取一种混合主义的价值判断进路。我国《侵权责任法》以实现救济受害人之功能为主旨,采纳的是工具主义进路,这一忽视法律的道德维度的立场应予以修正。

The Approach of Value Judgment in Tort Law

the value judgment on the law refers to an activity which evaluates or judges whether a legislative rule design or judicial decision is in line with some value criteria. For the value judgment on tort law, there are two basic approaches, ethics and instrumentalism;the former is in close contact with the law and morality, and the latter depends on the law as a tool to achieve specific social objectives, both having short length, so the proper choice is to take a value judgment approach of mixed doctrine. China’s“Tort Liability Act”takes the realization of the function to relieve vic-tims as the theme, adopting the instrumental approach, and we should amend this moral dimensional position which ignores the law.
