法学研究中实用主义进路之提倡——理查德·A·波斯纳的理论及对中国的启示

Promotion of Pragmatic Approach in Legal Research——Richard.A.Posner's Theory and Its Inspirations for China

结果导向主义的实用主义为我们观察法律和分析法律问题提供了一个全新的视角,也提供了一种更具解释力的研究路径。认识论意义上的实用主义和方法论意义上的实用主义,分别对应着学术批评和理论建构。对波斯纳的实用主义理论进行实用主义的借鉴,有助于提升我国学术批判意识、消解法学研究中的法条主义以及经验性地理解法官的行为和司法活动。我国的法学研究需要实用主义的指导。

Results-oriented pragmatism provides us with not only a new perspective to observe law and analyze legal issues but also a more explanatory research approach.Epistemological pragmatism and methodological pragmatism are in correspondence to,respectively,academic criticism and theory construction.With pragmatic reference to Posner＇s pragmatism,our sense of academic criticism can be enhanced,legalism in legal research can be digested and in and behavior of judges and judicial activities be empirically understood.China＇s legal research needs pragmatic guidance.
