法学中的“休谟问题”——纯粹法理论建构的逻辑起点

“Hume's Problem”in Law——Based on the Logical Starting Point of the Construction of the Pure Law Theory

"休谟问题"自从提出之后,便被人们广泛讨论,对哲学产生了颠覆性的影响,这种影响也波及到法学之中。法学中的"休谟问题"所关注的是在实在法的正当性论证中,如何处理好事实和价值的关系。"休谟问题"指出事实和价值之间无法相互推导,自然法学和社会法学没有考虑"休谟问题",在实在法的正当性论证中,在事实与价值之间相互推论。凯尔森注意到了这一问题,在避免事实与价值互推的基础上另辟蹊径,在规范的领域论证法律的正当性,尽管存在各种各样的不足,也遭受了许多的批评,但是这一有益的尝试为法学的科学化做出了重要的贡献。

＂Hume＇s problem＂,which is widely discussed by people since it has been put forward,has a overwhelming influence on philosophy,and this influence has also spread to law. ＂Hume＇s problem＂in law focuses on how to deal the relationships of fact and value when we justify the validity and content of positive law. ＂Hume＇s problem＂points out that there is no mutual derivation between fact and value,the natural law theory and social law theory do not take ＂Hume＇s problem＂into consideration in the process of the justification of the validity and content of positive law,and infer between fact and value. Kelsen puts forward his theory of justifying law in the norm province,although his theory has all kinds of shortages,and undergoes lots of criticism,this helpful attempt makes significant contribution to the scientification of law.
