英美侵權法中的因果關係－－法律傳統和法律政策視角下的考察

The Causality Theory Under The Common-Tort-Law: Based upon the Dual Perspectives of Legal Traditions and Legal Policies

本文以大陸法的因果關係理論為參照，立足於法律傳統和法律政策的雙重視角對英美法侵權理論中因果關係的概念、功能及考察方法進行了系統的梳理和分析，並揭示了其在因果關係考察中的不同法律技術特徵背後所隱藏的法律價值和法律政策考量，以及如何通過確立和調整其理論分析框架來因應社會生活的變化，如何通過修正其法律技術和法律傳統來應對法律價值變動所提出的新要求，從而把侵權法理論提升到一個法哲學的研究高度，並由此提出我國侵權法研究所面臨的任務。
