论机能主义刑法学——机能主义刑法学的检讨

On Functionalism Criminal Jurisprudence—The Discussion of Functionalism Criminal Jurisprudence

机能主义刑法学不同于传统的刑法解释学,传统刑法解释学重视'体系思考'即注重法律逻辑的推演,而机能主义刑法学重视'问题思考'即注重刑法社会机能的实现,机能主义刑法学力图在刑法学研究中实现从'体系思考'到'问题思考'的转变。机能主义刑法学以经验主义认识论、社会工程学理论、目的论、价值相对主义等思想为前提,以刑法应该具有的机能为逻辑起点,从应然和实然两个方面对刑法中各个具体问题进行考察。由于机能主义刑法学更为关注刑法作为社会控制手段的机能的实现,因此容易轻视体系以及作为形式保障原则的罪刑法定原则的约束。

Functionalism criminal law is different from traditional construction of criminal law.Traditional construction of criminal law emphasizes consideration on system,that is to say,it values legal logic deduction.Functionalism criminal law pays attention to consideration on problem which cares about realization of criminal law social function. Functionalism criminal law tries to realize transformation from consideration on system to consideration on problem.Based on empiricism epistemology,social engineering theory,teleology and value relativism, functionalism criminal law studies specific issues in criminal law in the perspective of being and ought to be.The function which criminal law should have is the logical beginning which functionalism criminal law studies specific issues.Functionalism criminal law especially cares about the realization of criminal law social function,so it is easy to despise the system and the restraint of legal principle.
