法律代码化的理论逻辑与技术路径

Theoretical Logic and Technical Paths of Legal Coding

近年来,随着现代信息技术对传统人文社会科学的影响,法学理论研究日益呈现出“数字化”转型的趋势。这种区别于传统法学研究和思维的“技术化”路径,对于法哲学研究而言不亚于一场席卷学科发展基础的思想革命。在互联网时代,以计算机软硬件代码为基本的运行逻辑单元决定了信息空间中能够对网络技术和行为形成有效规范作用的只能是代码。因此,面对调整对象和模式的高度信息化,传统意义上以文本逻辑为调整规范的法律条文,必须通过代码的转换才能在信息空间中有效发挥作用。那么,如何妥善处理好高度抽象的数字化运行模式与高度具体化的现实行为模式之间的矛盾,不仅关系法学研究模式的转型,更影响着法律规范调整模式的转向。而对于上述问题的分析,需要从“代码的法律化”与“法律的代码化”问题入手,探索构建信息化环境性法律规范运行机理的基础理论问题。

In recent years, with the influence of modern information technology on the traditional humanities and social sciences, the study of legal theory has increasingly shown a trend of "digital" transformation. This "technological" path, which is different from traditional legal research and thinking, is no less than an ideological revolution that has swept through the foundations of the development of the discipline for the study of legal philosophy.In the Internet era, the logical unit of operation based on computer software and hardware code determines that it is the only code that can effectively regulate network technology and behavior in the information space. Therefore, in the face of the high degree of informationization of adjustment objects and modes, the legal provisions traditionally regulated by textual logic must be transformed by codes to function effectively in the information space.Then, how to properly deal with the contradiction between the highly abstract digital operation mode and the highly concrete realistic behavior mode is not only related to the transformation of the legal theory research mode but also affects the turn of the legal norm adjustment mode. To analyze the above problems, we need to start with "code of law" and "code as law" and explore the fundamental theoretical issues of constructing the operation mechanism of legal norms in an informational environment.
