司法能动主义在中国:司法哲学之可能走向

Judicial Activism in China: The Future Orientation of Judicial Philosophy

文章通过对"司法能动主义"的概念来源和相关制度背景的考察,认为其前提是司法审查权的获得。同时指出,这一术语的语义语境在中国传播的过程中产生了至少三个方面的偏差和误解。从而认为真正意义上的能动主义哲学观不可能成为中国司法机关的哲学观,其原因在于,我国法律解释的主体、民主政治的制度设计,以及法律解释的情形等方面都不允许中国的法院或法官遵循司法能动主义的哲学观。文章最后指出,中国法院的司法哲学的可能走向就是严格遵循法律的明确规定而进行相关的法律适用。

Through an analysis of the origin of 'judicial activism' and the background of the correlative legal institutions,this paper points out that the presupposition of judicial activism is gained through the judicial review power.At the same time,the paper reveals that there are at least three aspects of bias or misunderstanding in its transmission in the context of China.Thus,the philosophical concept of judicial activism in the true sense of the term will not become the philosophical concept of China's judicial institutions because the subject of legal interpretation,the democratic political system and the interpretation of law in China will not allow the Chinese judges or courts to follow the philosophical concept of judicial activism.The paper concludes that the future orientation of judicial philosophy in China is to abide by the clear-cut legal regulations and their application.
