以公共政策分析为中心的法律方法论--重访霍姆斯大法官

摘要

霍姆斯综合并超越了分析法学和历史法学，以公共政策为其法律方法论的核心元素。他批判了当时最重要的公共政策判断标准即自然法，又通过言论自由提供了形成健全公共政策的程序，从而在一定意义上履行了自己为新时代的美国重建本土法律方法论的使命，这对于我们当代中国如火如荼的法治建设与法学发展，都是不可多得之镜鉴。%Having combined and transcended both the analytical jurisprudence and the historical jurispru -dence, Justice Holmes regards public policy as the core element of his legal methodology .He criticizes natural law, then the most important criterion of public policy , and establishes the procedure of forming sound public policies through free expression, so that, in a sense, he achieves the aim of reconstructing a local legal meth-odology for US in a new age.His intellectual contribution is a considerable reference for China ’s contemporary legal construction and jurisprudential developments .
