法律解释的自然法理论——以迈克·S.穆尔为中心的考察

Natural Law Theory of Legal Interpretation: From the Perspective of Mike S.Moore

从中道的解释模式看,穆尔的法律解释理论是其裁判理论的一部分,回应的问题是:法官应如何取得解释性前提。从主张道德实在命题与关联命题的自然法理论看,穆尔的法律解释的自然法理论主张法律解释中的道德实在命题与关联命题。由于语言在面对事实时的有限性,法官在裁决案件时必然要作出价值判断创造"法律隐喻",从而价值必然进入法律解释。该理论启示我们,在适用法律于任何案件事实时,法官必须进行行使法律推理成为可能的道德推理。

From moderate interpretation mode, Moore's law interpretation theory is part of his decision theory, responding to the question: how should judges obtain an explanatory premise? From natural law theory of moral realism proposition and associated proposition, the natural law theory of legal interpretation of Moore claims moral realism proposition and associated proposition in legal interpretation. Because of the limited nature of the language in the face of the fact, the judge in deciding the cases is bound to make a value judgment to create a 'legal metaphor', in which value is bound to enter the legal interpretation. The theory tells us that in any case the law applicable to the facts, the judge must make legal reasoning possible moral reasoning.
