罪刑法定原则:视角转换与价值定位——兼论类推思维

Transfer of Vision and Orientation on Value: Principle of Legality

罪刑法定原则是我国刑法的基本原则之一,但作为一种传统的司法方法,类推却是法本来的性格,法律思维一直都是类推思维。不能将类推制度与类推思维相混淆,"不法类型"是界定可容许的和需禁止的类推的可靠标准,类推思维不会随着类推制度在刑法中的废除而消亡。同时,罪刑法定原则不应只停留在制度层面上,更重要的是给予其正确的价值定位,并培养与之相适应的权利观念的土壤,以真正使罪刑法定的价值内涵得以实现。

Principle of Legality is one of the fundamental principles of Chinese Criminal Law, but as a traditional judicial means, analogy is the original nature of law, and the thinking of law is always the ones of analogy. We can′t mistake analogical institution with analogical thinking. Unlawful Type is the dependable standard that tells permitted analogy from forbidden analogy. Analogical thinking won′t disappear with the abolishing of analogical institution in Criminal Law. At the same time, Principle of Legality shouldn′t stay at the level of institutions; the more important thing is to fix it correct position on value and to culture the ideas of rights, which can make the value of Principle of Legality into reality.
