中国法律修辞(学)研究之反思

Reflections upon Research on Chinese Rhetoric of Law

近几年,在西方法学研究的影响下,中国法律修辞(学)研究也日益繁盛起来。但与西方法律修辞(学)以批判逻辑理性为前提的兴起缘由不同,中国法律修辞(学)面对的现实是理性精神的缺失和恣意限制的缺乏。在这种情况下,法律修辞(学)研究如何能够做到既批判理性又维护理性,容许主观又限制主观,以避免其对法治形成消解。鉴于中国法治发展的现实与修辞传统的影响,再结合西方经验,我们只有对法律修辞研究作出客观化的努力,才能解决这个问题。

In recent years,research on rhetoric of Chinese laws has been increasingly prosperous under the influence of Western legal research.However,rather than the criticism rationale based on which rhetoric of Western laws is generated,Chinese rhetoric of law is lack of rational spirit and arbitrary restrictions.Considering this situation,how can it maintain rational while criticizing rationale,and allow being subjective while limiting subjectivity so as to prevent the rule of law from being ruined？ Given the reality of the rule of law and rhetoric traditions,and by taking reference of Western experience,it is suggested that the resolution should lie in resorting to objective research on rhetoric of law.
