法律解释：克制抑或能动

On Legal Interpretation:Judicial Restraint or Judicial Activism

近来,实务界一直在高调倡导能动司法或司法能动,从而勾起了理论界对司法能动主义探讨的热情。像往常一样,实务界提出的问题,基本是在感觉的基础上理解能动意义的,没有经过认真的论证。从哲学的意义上看,司法能动是法律解释的本质,然而法治要求法律人应该是理性、克制地能动司法,否则能动就变成了毁坏法治的口号。在司法过程中即使少不了能动也不能忘记根据法律进行思维,不顾法律意义的安全性而任意能动不符合法治的基本要求。

Judicial activism has been advocated in judicial practice recently, arousing the enthusiastic research in theory. The understanding of activism, from the usual practical perspective, is usually lack of serious argumentation and merely based on feelings. Judging from the perspective of philosophy, judicial activism is the nature of legal interpretation, but the rule of law demands a rational and restrained judicial activism, otherwise it will be ruined thereby. Judicial activism is as important as legal mentality, so any arbitrary activism regardless of the safety of law would violate the rule of law
