现实主义法学研究的困境及其克服

The Dilemmas of Legal Realism Studies and Their Solution

现实主义法学研究在我国面临的困境,体现在研究方法单一、研究视野狭窄以及未能找到其与中国的连接点。学界对现实主义法学的质疑和误读是造成困境的主要原因,认为它已经过时,它是破坏性法学,它没有研究价值。然而,现实主义法学并没有过时,它一直对理论和实践产生影响;现实主义法学不是破坏性法学,它并不完全否认法律规则的作用,它强调对实践的关注,旨在提升法律的可预见性;现实主义法学在当下仍有研究价值,它的研究方法和研究领域仍有待深入挖掘。为了克服当前的困境,应当从法理学、法制史和私法方面对现实主义法学展开研究。

Studies on legal realism in China face some dilemmas:the research method is single,the the research perspective is narrow and they are lack of connection with the conditions of China.The dilemmas are mainly caused by misinterpretation of and criticism on legal realism which holds that legal realism is outdated,destructive and has no research value.However,legal realism is not outdated because it still has an impact on theory and practice.Legal realism is not destructive because it does not entirely deny legal rules;it attaches importance to practice and aims to enhance the predictability of law.Legal realism is worthy of being studied,and its research methods and fields need to be further explored.In order to resolve the dilemmas,researches from the perspectives of jurisprudence,legal history and private law should be carried out.
