求解法学的知识密码——解读《法学的知识谱系》的一个“锁眼”与三把“钥匙”

The Knowledge Code to Decrypt Legal Science:An Analysis of One“Keyhole”and Three“Keys”in The Knowledge Genealogy of Legal Science

《法学的知识谱系》的理论旨趣和抱负,并不单纯在于梳理西方法律思想史,而在于回答关于法学之学问性质的一般性问题。想要透彻地解读本书、从而解开法学的知识密码,需要抓住一个"锁眼"与三把"钥匙"。本书的思想主线("锁眼")在于,通过探寻法学知识成长的方式与过程,来求得法学(法教义学)之科学性问题的答案。为此,要把握三对范畴(三把"钥匙"),即西方与中国、谱系与性质、法教义与法理。历史性考察的结论可以被归纳为:法学本质上就是一门教义学、作为教义学的法学是一门科学、作为科学之教义学的研究对象是法理。本书为法学的知识地图拼上了最重要的一块拼图,但也呼唤同行者一起继续去追求(中国)法学的"理想图景"。

The theoretical interest and ambition of the monograph The Knowledge pedigree of Jurisprudence is not simply to comb the history of western legal thoughts,but to answer a general question about the intellectual nature of Jurisprudence.In order to understand this book thoroughly and unlock the knowledge code of Jurisprudence,one needs to grasp a“keyhole”and three“keys”hereof.The main line(“keyhole”)of this book is to find answers to the question of scientificalness of Jurisprudence(legal dogmatics)by exploring the methods and processes of the growth of legal knowledge.To this end,it is necessary to grasp three pairs of categories(three“keys”),namely,the West and China,pedigree and nature,legal doctrines and ratio juris.The conclusions of above historical investigation can be summarized as follows:(1)Jurisprudence is essentially a dogmatical kind in nature,(2)Jurisprudence as a dogmatical discipline is a science,and(3)the object of Jurisprudence as a science is ratio juris.This book puts together the most important pieces of the puzzle for the knowledge map of legal science,but it still calls on fellow colleagues to continue to complete the“ideal picture”of(Chinese)Jurisprudence together.
