麦考密克论融贯

麦考密克对规范性融贯和描述性融贯的区分，启示我们在司法裁判或证立过程中不但要重视规范要素的融贯、而且要重视事实要素的融贯，规范性融贯与描述性融贯密不可分，法律方法领域不应忽视对证据融贯性要求的研究。努力在法律体系内确保价值融贯的原则论证方式，不仅是对司法证立的一种形式要求，而且含有正当性要求，它把司法行为限制在合法范围内，在约束法官判决主观因素的同时，增加了司法行为的机动性。

On Coherence from MacCormick

The division between normative coherence and narrative coherence from Neil MacCormick inspires us that, in the course of legal judgment and legal justification we should attach importance not only to coherence of normative element, but also to coherence of factual element. It is inseparable between normative coherence and narrative coherence, so the people who work in legal method should not ignore research about coherence of evidence. The argumentation from principle which tries to insure value coherence within legal system is both formal and substantial demand. The argumentation from principle restricts judgment action within the law, in the same time adds flexibility of judgment action.
