论法律概念与法学概念的区别

摘要

现行《法理学》知识体系一般以法律要素框架来安置法律概念，这一处理方式尚缺乏完备性。需要区别法律概念与法学概念，二者在指称对象、作用方式、思维层次和存在场域等方面均有不同。法律概念指称现实世界中的事物，法学概念则指称法律概念世界；法律概念规范着人们的权利义务，法学概念则调整着法律世界中各种概念间的关系；法律科学的思维直接面对现实世界，法学概念则更具抽象性，它主要指向法律世界；法律概念存在于实在法所代表的法律世界中，法学概念则存在于理论化的法律科学中。各种不同的法学流派在建构自己的研究对象上有着根本差异，这两类概念之间存在着或相对应或不相对应的情况。区分这两类概念在法学教育和研究方面有重要意义。%The way to deal with the Legal Concept as an element of the Legal Elements in our textbook of Jurisprudence is not perfect.We should distinguish Legal Concept from Juristic Concept, because they are different in the target,mode of action,the existing level of thinking and their exist-ing field.Legal concepts express the real world,but juristic concepts express the world of legal con-cepts;legal concepts regulate the rights and obligations of the people,juristic concepts adjust the rela-tionship within the legal concepts;the thinking of legal science directly faces the real world,juristic concepts are in a more abstract level of thinking and mainly pointed to the world of legal concepts;le-gal concepts are being in the legal world which is represented by positive law,juristic concepts are be-ing in theory of legal science.Different legal schools have different research objects,and these two types of concepts may not correspond to each other.To distinguish these two types of concepts is an important work in legal education and legal research.
