逻辑对法治原则性命题的意义

The Importance of Logic to the Principled Propositions in Ruling by Law

法理学应该研究法治的一些原则性命题如何实现。这些原则性命题包括法律解释的合法性、客观性、合理性、正确性和正当性等。逻辑规则是法律方法的支撑点,在法律方法中居于基础地位,相信通过认真地对待逻辑(包括形式逻辑和非形式逻辑)方法,可以使法律解释结果逐渐接近法治。在法律影响人们思维的因素中,逻辑规则起着保证法律的固有意义不被丢失的作用。法治所需要的合法性形式、客观性追求、合理性反思、正确性答案和正当性程序等命题的实现,都离不开逻辑规则的运用。能动司法不是脱离逻辑推理而自如地解释法律,严格遵循逻辑规则才是通向法治的思维指南。

Jurisprudence should study the implementation of the principled propositions in the rule of law,which include the legitimacy,objectivity,rationality,correctness and justification of legal interpretation.The logical rules are the foundation in legal methodology.In the logical framework,our legal interpretation may approach the requirement called for by the rule of law.Logical rules help prevent the missing of the inherent meaning of law.Active judicature does not mean the interpretation of law free of logical constraint.Strict accordance with the logical rules is the right direction to rule of law.
