情感与法律推理——论司法中的情感差异与裁判公信力的进取路径

Emotions and Legal Reasoning:On the Emotional Difference in Justice and the Progressive Path of Judgment Credibility

面对个案当事人、公众对司法裁判的质疑,一味将之归结于司法极强的专业性,并坚持要求质疑者通过提高自身法律素养来解决被质疑者的麻烦,是不切实际、被动且缺乏勇气的做法。我们有必要找到一种更为主动的方式来解决各种对裁判的质疑问题。因此,法官应当在审判过程中采取更容易让人接受的方式来裁断案件。从个人情感到公众道德再到法律规范存在一个逻辑通道,所以裁判对个人情感的呼应是具有正当性的。在日渐重视人文关怀的司法实践中,一种更为高超的裁判技艺不是纯实践理性的法律推理,而是在一种能为公众情感所普遍接受的价值观下的辩证推理,其最终是要在法官、个案当事人及公众之间构筑一种法律意义与道德意义上的公序良俗。

In the face of the doubts of individual parties and the public about judicial decisions,it is impractical,passive and courageless to blindly attribute it to the strong professionalism of the judiciary and insist on requiring the questioners to solve the troubles of the questioned persons by improving their own legal literacy.We need to find a more proactive way to resolve the various questions about referees.Therefore,judges should adopt a more acceptable way to decide cases in the trial process.There is a logical channel from personal emotion to public morality and then to legal norms.so,it is legitimate for judges to respond to personal emotions.In the judicial practice that increasingly attaches importance to humanistic care,a more advanced judicial skill is not the legal reasoning of pure practical rationality,but the dialectical reasoning under the values generally accepted by the public emotions,which ultimately aims to establish a public order and good custom in the legal and moral sense among the judges,the parties to the cases and the public.
