法官的理性认知与司法前见

Judge's Rational Cognition and Judicial Pre-Understanding

法官认知是一切纷争能够得到解决的前提条件,是法律世界存在的支柱。法官的认识须由客观事实的可靠性来证明,可靠性首先意味着确定性。任何法律现象都被理解为确定的东西,被理解为稳固不变的东西,除非被立法者自己废止。"法官所思"是法官所有认识的真理性的第一保证,法官认识的目的就在于寻求把握审判过程中的司法真相。如果我们把司法看成是一种在司法实践基础上所发生的历史性的活动,那么从事司法审判活动的法官首先有了一种对于法治的在先理解,这就是法官的"前见"。法官前见的获得是其理性选择的结果,体现了事物认识发展的本质,由此构成了法官的视域。

The judge＇s cognition,as the pre-condition of all disputes to be settled condition,is the pillar for the existence of legal world.The judge＇s understanding should be proved by the reliability of the objective facts,in which reliability first means that certainty.Any legal phenomena may be interpreted as certain things,to be understood as invariable,unless it is abolished by the lawmakers.What judge thinks is the first guarantee of the truth that the judge knows,whose purpose is to seek to grasp the judicial truth in the process of jurisdiction.If we take justice as a kind of historical activities on the basis of judicial practice,then judges engaged in judicial activities first have a prior understanding for the rule of law,that is the judge＇s pre-understanding.The attainment of judge＇s pre-understanding is the result of his or here rational choice,which reflects their understanding of the essence of the development of things,which form the perspective of the judge.
