法律间隙的虚构对凯尔森纯粹法理论的作用

The role of the fiction of legal gap in the pure law theory of Kelsen

法律的间隙是凯尔森的《法与国家的一般理论》中第十一章规范等级体系中的内容。凯尔森在书中将法律的间隙解释为一种虚构,认为法律的间隙是不存在的。凯尔森通过对法律间隙的阐释,补充完善了法律规范等级体系,进而充实了纯粹法理论,使得纯粹法理论中的法律规范在确定性的基础上实现了灵活性。

Legal gap is the content of the eleventh chapter of General Theory of Law andState by Kelsen. In this book, the legal gap is interpreted as a kind of fiction, and the gap isconsidered non-existent. Kelsen through the interpretation of legal gap, supplements and perfectsthe hierarchy of legal norms, and enriches his pure law theory, and thus realizes the flexibility oflegal norms in the theory on the basis of certainty.
