Conceptual theory - Begriffsjurisprudenz (German: Begriffsjurisprudenz)

Japanese: 概念法学 - がいねんほうがく(英語表記)Begriffsjurisprudenz ドイツ語
Conceptual theory - Begriffsjurisprudenz (German: Begriffsjurisprudenz)

A term coined by Rudolf von Jhering. It was a satire of 19th century German jurisprudence, which was devoted to "calculation of concepts" while ignoring the purpose of law and the needs of society, and has since been used to criticize jurisprudence that places too much emphasis on logic. In response to this, schools of thought such as "jurisprudence of the object," "jurisprudence of the interest," and "jurisprudence of freedom" were established. However, if one goes too far in the opposite direction, there is a danger that trials will become emotional and arbitrary, undermining legal stability. This excessive tendency has been criticized as "jurisprudence of emotion." "The life of law is not logic but experience," are the words of the American legal scholar Holmes, and it can be said that the direction jurisprudence should take lies in the combination of the intermediate logic and experience between jurisprudence of concepts and jurisprudence of emotion.

Japanese:

ルドルフ・フォン・イェーリングの造語。19世紀ドイツ法学が法の目的や社会の必要を無視して「概念の計算」に専心したことを揶揄(やゆ)したもので、その後一般に論理を偏重する法学を批判することばとして用いられる。これに対して成立したのが「目的法学」「利益法学」「自由法学」などとよばれる学派である。しかし、逆の方向に行きすぎると、裁判が情緒的、恣意(しい)的になって、法的安定性が害される危険がある。この行きすぎた傾向は「感情法学」として批判された。「法の生命は論理ではなく、経験である」とは、アメリカの法学者ホームズのことばであるが、概念法学と感情法学の中間論理と経験の結合のうちに、法学のあるべき方向があるといえよう。
