法学研究中的认识论问题

我国法学理论正面临“现代”与“后现代”的双重压力。后现代思潮主要知识进路和思想工具就是对理性的批判和否定。传统法学理论之所以没有足够的能力回应后现代的挑战，其原因也就在于对作为认识主体的人把握作为认识对象的法律的理性能力缺乏充分的批判和论证。由于我国传统法学理论的思维范式发源于知识论思想传统的合法性，所以，后现代思潮实质上是对作为传统法学理论之基础的知识论思想传统进行挑战。因此，若要充分回应这一挑战，就必须实现法学研究范式的转化，路径之一就是将人从单纯的法律认识主体转化为法律实践主体。

Epistemology in Legal Studies

Nowadays theories of law science in our country are facing two pressures from modern and post-modern trends of thought.The major knowledge access and thinking tools are critique and denial of rationality.The main reason why traditional theories of law science are not scientific enough to meet the challenge from post-modern trend of thought lies in our insufficient critique and demonstration about the cognitive subjects'' rational capability in mastering laws the objects.Considering the fact that our traditional thinking paradigm of law theories originated from the 1egality of theory of knowledge,the author maintains that post-modern trend of thought substandally imposes a challenge to theory of knowledge as the basis of traditional law science theories.Hence,to answer the challenge,one of the methods is to transform humanbeings from sheer cognitive subjects of law into practicing subjects.
