一个颇具争议的沉重命题:“中国刑法知识转型”

A Controversial Proposition :The Transition of Chinese Knowledge of Criminal Law

在晚近四十年里,我国刑法学界最具争议性的重大命题是"中国刑法知识转型"。这一命题的基本内容是:在当代中国,应对现有的、以四要件犯罪构成理论为基本框架的中国刑法知识进行全面清理,并向以德日犯罪构成理论为基本框架的德日刑法知识转型。经过论证后可知:这一命题存在着命题过宽的逻辑错误;以"四要件犯罪构成理论"为基本框架的中国刑法知识体系可以较好地适应刑事法治建设和促进中国刑法学的发展;中国刑法知识全面转型为"以德日多元化犯罪构成理论知识为主轴的刑法知识"后并不能更好地促进刑事法治的发展,因此,这一命题是不能成立的。在未来,我国应以开放、包容的心态,学习、借鉴和吸收世界各国的文明刑法知识。

In recent forty years, the most controversial proposition in criminal law circle of china is that“the transition of Chinese knowledge of criminal law”. The basic content of the proposition is that“In modern china, the knowledge of criminal law in which the basic framework is set up with the four elements’system theory of criminal constitution ,must be destroyed. Our knowledge need transform to Germany and Japan knowledge of criminal law in which the basic framework is set up with the ladder’ system theory of criminal constitution.”But this proposition is false. In future, China need study and absorb the criminal law knowledge of all civilization state. We can not always concentrate on the idea that our criminal law knowledge must transform to Germany and Japan knowledge of criminal law.
