Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I analyzed the methodology of interpretation of law in the field of private law, discussed in France at the beginning of the 20th century, from the viewpoint of legal philosophy, focusing on the legal theory of Francois Geny. As an approach that differs from the previous studies, I have examined (1) the relationship with the concepts epistemology developed in France after the end of the 19th century, (2) the reflective relationship with the legal practice such as the case by Cour de cassation and the amendments to laws formed after the beginning of the 20th century. In the early 20th century, the methodological debate on "droit" and "science du droit" in France had a unique background that went beyond the simple opposition between legal positivism and natural law theory, and the role of jurists as legal subjects in France, which has statutory law system.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の考察対象であるフランソワ・ジェニーの法理論は、我が国の民法解釈の方法論として参照されることはあったものの、その独自の体系について理論的内実を明らかにする研究は少なかった。一般に科学学派として評されるジェニーの理論を、フランス哲学上の諸概念や実証主義と関係づけた上で整理したことには、学術的意義がある。また、法学者を含む法律家に、制定法(立法者)と法適用者たる裁判官との間に介在し、法解釈について幅のある役割を担う可能性を見出すことは、裁判官を法解釈主体として立法との対立関係を前提する法哲学上の議論を相対化する意義がある。
