迈向法治新常态下的法律方法论研究——2015年中国法律方法论研究报告

Legal New Normal and Legal Methodology——2015Research Report on Development of Legal Methodology in China

在法治迈向新常态的背景下,2015年国内法律方法论的研究在保持原有领域和主题的基础上,又出现了一些新的发展动向。在理论基础方面,2014年的教义法学与社科法学之争继续延伸,已经从法理学扩展到部门法学。作为教义法学的基本分支之一,法律方法论在研究成果方面也凸显了大量部门法学的贡献。在自身理论体系方面,法律解释中也以刑法解释为突出代表,其中刑法研究与合宪性解释方法的结合具有较强的创新性;法律论证理论(包括法律修辞)和法律推理等也强调了微观视角和可操作性特征。本年度,法律方法论研究也从宏观的法治理念到具体法律制度展开,其中案例指导制度仍然是比较有代表性的。在法治迈向新常态的背景下,法律方法论研究应当适应并参与其中,发挥对法治建设的积极推动作用。
