论民事法律事实的类型区分

依据民法学问题的讨论是否与民法规则的设计或适用直接相关,民法学问题可被区分为民法问题和纯粹民法学问题。民法学界关注和讨论的不少问题,属于与民法规则的设计或适用不直接相关的纯粹民法学问题,其主要包括事实判断问题、价值判断问题和解释选择问题。民事法律事实的类型区分属于纯粹民法学问题中的解释选择问题,我国民法学界就此存在详细区分说、简略区分说与折中说的对立。在三种学说都符合逻辑自洽且富有学说解释力标准的前提下,简略区分说更能满足民法学界对民事法律事实进行类型区分的各种主要学术目的,因而是更为可取的学说。

On Distinguishing the Types of Civil Legal Facts

Based on whether the discussion of civil law theory issues is directly related to the design and application of the rules of civil law, civil law theory issues can be divided into civil law issues and pure civil law theory issues. Many issues being focused on and discussed by civil law scholars are pure civil law theory issues, which primarily incorporate the judgment about facts, the judgment about values and the choice of interpretations. The classification of civil legal facts is an issue of the choice of interpretations, and Chinese civil law scholars hold three different theories, which are the detailed distinguishment theory, the brief distinguishment theory and the compromise theory. If all these theories are intrinsically logical and according with academic explanatory standard, the brief distinguishment theory can better satisfy the academic purposes of civil law scholars to classify the civil legal facts. In conclusion, the brief distinguishment theory is more advisable.
