比较法律文化研究中的认识论问题

Issues of Epistemology in Study of Comparative Legal Culture

当法律文化研究者试图将法律文化这一概念与比较法律制度研究相勾连时,不可避免会遇到如下两个认识论上的问题:如何对法律文化中的观念要素进行比较?根据谁的标准来对不同的法律文化进行比较?马克斯.韦伯的理想类型方法似乎可以在一定程度上实现对法律文化中的观念要素进行客观探究,并且对具有不同文化价值体系的其他社会的法律制度和法律文化进行客观认识。

When linking the concept of legal culture and the research of comparative legal system, the researchers of legal culture have to face the following two issues of epistemology： how to compare the concepts in legal culture？ What criteria are used for comparing the different legal cultures？ Weber＇s ideal-type method seems to a certain extent to carry out an objective research to the concepts in legal culture and to have an objective recognition to the other legal systems and legal cultures with differentlv cultural values.
