中国政治宪法学与规范宪法学之争的吊诡

The Paradox in the Controversy over Chinese Constitutional Jurisprudence

当前法学界通常认为政治宪法学与规范宪法学是两种完全对立的宪法学研究范式。但是一旦通过政治宪法与法律宪法的二元宪法观厘清中国政治宪法学的理论来源,并通过解析"规范宪法"概念弄清楚中国规范宪法学的缘起,就会出现中国政治宪法学与中国规范宪法学并不完全对立冲突的结论。本文进而通过澄清"法教义学"的方法论,指出了中国宪法学论战中有关立宪主义价值观和方法论的种种错位及其症结,明确了当前中国宪法学学理冲突的实质源于现行宪法本身所具有的价值二重性。

The jurisprudences of political constitution and of normative constitution are usually deemed as two opposite paradigms of constitutional studies in the Chinese academic legal circle. However,once the theoretical resources of Chinese constitutional jurisprudence is clarified through the dual view of political constitution and legal constitution,and the origin of Chinese jurisprudence of normative constitution clarified by the analysis of the concept of normative constitution,we can conclude that the Chinese jurisprudences of political constitution and of normative constitution are not opposing each other. Furthermore,this paper discovers several misplacements and symptoms related to constitutionalism and methodologies in Chinese constitutional controversy,and concludes that the substance of the theoretical contention of Chinese constitutional jurisprudence is caused by the dual values contained inside China's present constitution.
