民间法话语的逻辑——对当代中国法学建构民间法的三种理论样式的初步探讨

The Logic of Folk Law as a Discourse

民间法或习惯法的研究是随着中国法制现代化的深入而出现的学术现象,它在当代中国法学研究中越来越占有显著的位置。从目前民间法研究的进展来看,可以作为学术类型进行探讨的有三种理论,分别是苏力的本土资源论的民间法、梁治平的法律文化论的民间法及谢晖的规范法学的民间法。由于它们所依凭的方法依然是西方的,还缺乏中国学术的自主性立场,因此需要进一步发展。

The study of folk law parallels the process of legal modernization in China and is becoming increasingly important in legal studies. Exant studies in the field could be grouped into three theories which derserves acedemic examination. They are ： Su Li＇s folk law theory based on the theory of native legal-resources, Liang Zhiping＇s theory in light of law culture and Xie Hui＇s theory from the perspective of the theory of law as norms. The three theories employ mainly western methodology. Consequently, further efforts are needed to endow them with academic autonomy.
