摘要: 建构中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系,不仅是一项政治上的建言,也是中国哲学社会科学本身终究无法绕过的学术课题。对此,必然遭逢价值判断的人文社会科学各个学科概莫能外,中国宪法学同样如此。建构本学科自主的知识体系,契合法教义学的精神,是中国宪法学应该担负的宿命与使命。但由于涉及价值判断,“返回祖国”之后也将可能进入意识形态作用下的语境,宪法学研究无法产生自然科学意义上的“知识”,然而仍不能排除其在提供确定性和合理性的解释结论之意义上作出知识贡献的可能。时至今日,建构中国宪法学自主知识体系的探索已然为许多宪法学者付诸行动,多年来不断改版的拙著《宪法学讲义》也在方法、体系、内容与话语等四个方面作出了一些尝试,实际上体现了笔者有关如何建构中国宪法学自主知识体系的基本主张。

Abstract: The construction of China's autonomous knowledge system of philosophy and social science is not merely a political suggestion, but also an academic subject that Chinese philosophy and social sciences per se cannot ultimately bypass.All disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, which inevitably encounter value judgments, are no exception in this regard, including Chinese constitutional law.Constructing the independent knowledge system of a discipline also aligns with the legal dogmatic spirit.This is the destiny and mission of Chinese constitutional law.However, due to its involvement in value judgments, Chinese constitutional law, by ‘returning to the motherland’, will be in a context that is likely to be influenced by ideology. Meanwhile, although constitutional law research cannot generate ‘knowledge’ as natural science does, it still possesses the possibility of making contributions to knowledge by providing interpretations and conclusions that offer certainty and rationality.Till today, numerous constitutional scholars have endeavored to explore the construction of China's autonomous constitutional law knowledge system.The continuously revised work Lectures on Constitutional Law has informed four aspects: methodology, system, content, and terminology, which in fact reflects the author's fundamental propositions regarding how to construct China's autonomous constitutional law knowledge system.
