批判法律理论的谱系 以《秋菊打官司》引发的 法学思考为例

Genealogy of Critical Legal Studies in China Legal Studies on The Story of Qiuyu

不同于流行的“法律与文学”视角,从批判法律理论的角度重新审视法学界围绕《秋菊打官司》电影展开的讨论,能考察批判法律理论在中国的内在谱系。苏力从“秋菊的困惑”入手,秉持法律多元主义理论和功能主义法治观对主流的西方普适主义权利法治观展开批判,从而希望建构一种吸纳中国本土资源的法治。此后,对《秋菊打官司》的解读形成两个批判法律的理论高峰。一个是冯象从基督教理论和共产主义学说的左翼立场出发对法治实践趋向于全球资本帝国“法治行省”的批判,另一个是赵晓力试图从中国古典传统的保守主义立场出发对现代法治将人的生命意义压缩为资本-劳动力的批判。对此的研究一方面试图提供一个思考改革开放四十年中国法理学发展的内在线索,另一方面也希望推动中国探索新的法治发展道路和构建理想的法治秩序。

Different from the popular perspective approach of"law and literature",this paper attempts to re-examine the legal studies scholarship on the film the Story of Qiuju from the perspective of critical legal studies,so asaiming to investigate the genealogy of critical legal studies in China.Professor Su Li is the first one to study this film and care about the"confusion of Qiuju"so as to criticize the main-stream western universalist view of the rule of law in China.He insistedadvocated legal pluralism and legal functionalism to the rule of law,hoping to construct a new kind of the rule of law with"local resources"in China.Since then the interpretation of the Story of Qiuju formed two theoretical peaks camps in criticizing mainstream western universalist view of the rule of law in China.One is professor Feng Xiang's criticism from the left-wing position of Christian theory and communist theory,in which he criticized legal transplantation in China as building a province of the global capitalist empire.The other is pProfessor Zhao XiaolPs criticism from the conservative position of Chinese classical tradition.He criticized that the rule of western law in China has destroyeding the meaning of life and the way of living.On the one hand,this paper attempts to provide an internal clue for thinking about the development of legal theories in China in the past 40 years since the beginning of the age of reforming and opening upopening and reform;on the other hand,it also hopes attempts to promote China to explore a new development path of rule of law and build an ideal legal order with legal pluralism for China.
