刑法解释方法位阶新论

On Rank of Interpretation Methods of Criminal Law

刑法解释方法存在一定的位阶性，为刑法解释活动提供一个思考的基本路径，这是一个法律方法论问题。刑法解释方法存在两层结构的位阶关系，即文义解释具有绝对的优位性，处于刑法解释方法的基础性的位置上，而其他刑法解释方法是在文义解释的基础上进一步发挥作用。刑法条文的基本含义决定了刑法解释结论的范围，文义解释是刑法解释的起点和终点；而目的解释、体系解释等其他刑法解释方法为能够得出合理正义的解释结论而共同起作用。

The rank of interpretation methods of criminal law is a question of legal methodology to provide a basic path for the explanation of criminal law. There are two layer structures of the interpretation methods of criminal law. The direct interpre- tat.ion has absolute primacy and fundamental position in the interpretation of criminal law, while other interpretation methods follow the direct interpretation. While the basic meaning of the criminal law provisions is the conclusion of the scope of criminal law interpretation, the direct interpretation is the beginning and end of the interpretation of criminal law; the objective interpretation, the system interpretation and other interpretation methods of criminal law work together for the reasonable justice explain conclusions.
