法源概念的本土化重构

Localized Reconstruction on the Concept of Legal Source

法治话语是以塑造法治认同为目标的法学表达。“据法裁判”是司法语境下的法治表征,法律渊源构成“据法裁判”之“法”的来源。因此,确定法律渊源的法源概念,应当被视为塑造“据法裁判”认同的法治话语。任何法治话语都是与特定法秩序相关联的、对特定法治实践的理论概括与反思促进。因应全面依法治国实践和中国特色法治话语建构的法源概念,应当以获致法理共识为目标,超越概念争议和功用定义,进而以形成性质定义之方式,有效彰显本土法治价值观,并就我国法治建设的现实问题给出有力回应。在具体构造上,法源概念应以“良法善治”为价值依归,将“效力”作为法源的类型要素而非概念要素,最终生成“包含权威性规范命题的事实”这一法理内涵。

Rule of law discourse is a jurisprudential expression that aims to shape rule of law identity.“Judgment according to law” is the representation of the rule of law in the judicial context,legal source constitutes the source of the “law” of “judgment according to law”. Therefore,the concept of legal source that determines the source of law should be regarded as rule of law discourse shaping the identity of “judgment according to law”. Any rule of law discourse is related to a specific legal order,as theoretical generalization and reflection on a specific rule of law practice. The concept of legal source in response to the practice of comprehensive rule of law and the construction of rule of law discourse system with Chinese characteristics,should aim to achieve jurisprudential consensus,transcend conceptual disputes and functional definitions,and manifest local rule of law values,responding to our nation’s problem by forming a definition of nature. In terms of concrete construction,the concept of legal source should be based on the value of “good law and good governance”,and “validity” should be taken as the type element of legal source instead of the conceptual element,and finally forms the jurisprudential connotation,namely“facts containing authoritative normative statement”.
