融贯民法典外在体系和内在体系的编纂技术

Compilation Techniques Integrating the Interior and Exterior Systems of Civil Code

民法典的编纂技术可以分为程序技术和功能技术,功能技术又可以分为外在体系的编纂技术、内在体系的编纂技术和融贯外在体系和内在体系的编纂技术。大陆法系起初主要关注的是以抽象概念的层级分类作为工具的外在体系的编纂技术,但是在概念法学日益受到批判的背景下,以一般原则为内容的民法典内在体系的价值开始凸显,以原则的分层、列举和具体化为特征的内在体系的编纂技术开始出现。由于民法典既包括外在体系,又包括内在体系,因此,通过特定的编纂技术将上述两个体系融贯为一个价值理念统一的整体具有极端重要的意义。这种编纂技术要求立法者熟练地运用不同的语词、不同的概念和不同的规范类型,将内在体系的价值理念在外在体系的规范中融贯地表现出来。

The techniques in the compilation of Civil Code can be divided into two categories:procedural techniques and functional techniques respectively. Functional techniques can be further divided into three sub-categories: compilation techniques of the interior system,compilation techniques of the exterior system,and compilation techniques integrating the interior and exterior systems.Originally,civil law jurisdictions focused on compilation techniques of the exterior system based on taxonomies of abstract concepts. However,with the increasing critiques against the Pandekten jurisprudence,the value of the interior system of Civil Code based on general principles began to emerge.As a result,the compilation techniques of the interior system featured by the enumeration and specification of multiple levels of principles started to appear. Due to the fact that a Civil Code includes both interior and exterior systems,it is therefore extremely of significance for the legislature to adopt a compilation system which is able to integrate the above mentioned two systems as a unified whole in terms of value and notion. Such compilation technique requires the legislature to employ various terminologies,concepts and categories of rules in a skilled manner,by which the values and notions in the interior system can be thoroughly displayed in the exterior system.
