摘要: 法教义学的本质在于:以现行法为基础,将个案体系化地归入基本规则与基本原则。德国法学界发展出了一种作为中间层的精细体系,介乎于个案决疑与法律规则以及基本规则、基本原则之间。这种精细体系使得“正义问题具有可操作性”,尤其是在日常案件的审理中,实用教义学大大简化了工作、节省了时间、实现了法的安定性。精细体系兼具稳定功能与创新功能。萨维尼的解释方法是所有文本科学的解释方法。体系解释与历史解释均可容纳基础科学。而主观解释与客观解释是萨维尼体系之后的讨论,客观目的解释实为一种虚幻。中国《民法典》已经发展出独具自身特色的法教义学与法解释学。解释是法教义学与实践法律适用之间的纽带,而法教义学在解释中发挥着基础性作用。中国最高人民法院的司法解释可能比立法更精准迅捷,因此对法教义学精细体系的构建贡献更大。

Abstract: The essence of legal dogmatics lies in systematically subsuming individual cases into fundamental rules and principles based on existing law.Germany has developed a refined intermediate system positioned between case adjudication and legal rules, as well as between basic rules and fundamental principles.This sophisticated system renders “questions of justice operable”, particularly in routine case adjudication, where practical dogmatics significantly streamlines judicial work, enhances efficiency, and ensures legal certainty.Notably, this system serves both stability and innovation functions.Savigny's interpretive methodology constitutes the foundational approach for all textual sciences.Both systematic and historical interpretations are capable of accommodating fundamental legal theories.The subsequent debate between subjective and objective interpretation, emerging after Savigny's framework, reveals that objective teleological interpretation is, in essence, illusory.China's Civil Code has cultivated its own distinctive legal dogmatics and hermeneutics.Interpretation functions as the nexus between legal dogmatics and practical legal application, with legal dogmatics playing a foundational role in the interpretive process.Judicial interpretations issued by the Supreme People's Court may surpass legislation in precision and responsiveness, thereby making a more substantial contribution to the construction of a refined dogmatic system.
