社会理论法学的兴起——贡塔·托依布纳的生平、著述及影响

Proliferation of Soclialism Legal Theories——Life,Work and Impact of Gunther Teubner

贡塔·托依布纳系当代社会理论法学大师,他在“法律与社会”“超国家法律”以及“正义论”三个领域,结合卢曼的系统论和德里达的后现代语言哲学,分析当代社会的私法秩序,建构了独特的社会理论法学。在法律与社会的关系上,托依布纳强调反思型法的作用,把合同视为调整来自不同领域冲突理性的工具。他认为当代法秩序会脱离民族国家的影响,形成全球私法。正义论不是纯粹的法哲学问题,它涉及的是法律与社会的调和,并且寻找适合社会的法教义学具体问题的答案。

Gunther Teubner is a master of social theory of law. Heading “law and society”,“law beyond the state” and “theories of justice”, he creates the genuine legal theory based on social theory to the contemporary private law through combined Niklas Lumann s systems theory and the postmodern philosophy of language of Jacques Derrida. Teubner emphasizes the function of reflexive law, and refers the contract as the mediation among the conflicting rationalities of different social fields. He postulates the possibility of legal systems that emerge largely free of national influences building on the custom of cross-border commercial trade. The theory of justice is not an issue of pure legal philosophy. Instead it is about the mediation between law and society, about the search for answers to concrete questions of legal doctrine which are adequate for society.
