普通法的歷史之維

The Historical Dimension of Common Law

本文從對經典普通法理論的觀點梳理入手，從普通法作為習慣和理性兩個方面剖析了普通法的歷史性特徵。文章指出，無論是從普通法來源於習慣這一點看，還是從普通法被視為理性本身來看，歷史在其中都起到了非常重要的作用。接下來，文章又從主觀與客觀、流變與靜止、觀念與方法三個方面，嘗試性地分析了普通法歷史性的含義，為理解普通法提供了參考。

This article aims at deploring the historicity of the English common law. For this, it develops its ideas from two aspects: whether as immemorial customs or as reason itself, common law is closely connected with history. But what does the historicity of the English common law mean? The author tries to explain this from three perspectives: the subjectivity and objectivity of history, history as a changing while not an unmoving process, historicity from the perspective of idea while not from methodology.
