“千叶之结”及其症因——关于法律文化概念构建的再思考

Discussion on the Problems of QianYe's Theory ——The thought of rethink the concept of “legal culture”

在理论法学研究中,法律文化概念虽相当常用,但并无一大致公认的涵义,这也影响到了概念自身的合法性问题。本文从对千叶正士之法律文化概念构建模式的评析出发,去探求“一个精确明了并为大多数人所接受”的法律文化概念的难求(千叶之结)原因所在;并通过对哈特构建法律概念的认识论背景的分析,指出法律文化概念的构建应该是开放结构和复数意义上的,法史学、法人类学、法社会学等不同法学分支学科的法律文化概念构建模式均各有其理论价值和现实意蕴。

The use of concept of legal culture is rather frequent in the research of law science, but there is no recognized concept. By analyzing the problems existing in QianYe theory, this paper points out that each concept has its own value. The thesis tempts to rearrange theoretically and research comparatively these theories to accomplish drawing and analyzing the theoretical models and to explore the contribution it has made to the development of the concept of ＂legal cultural＂, so as to foresee the direction of contemporary concept of ＂legal culture＂ and the way to develop the thought of ＂legal culture＂.
