Since 2013,“Social science law”began to attract scholars’ attention through the debate between “social science law”and “legal doctrine”.After several years of development,“social science law” and “law doctrine” have become the research methods widely used in the field of law in China.Different from the legal thinking mode of traditional legal doctrines,“Social science law”has injected a pool of fresh water into the legal research mainly based on normative thinking,and its pluralistic and open thinking has made great contributions to the legal research,legal education and judicial practice in China.However,since it was put forward,social science law has been confronted with various doubts in the academic circle in its research methods.Because of the weak theoretical foundation,diverse and confused value concept,“Social science law”is faced with the problem of insufficient momentum.In order to get rid of this dilemma,social science law must be forward-looking,rather than focusing only on the battle with law doctrine.Especially when the era of strong artificial intelligence is coming,social science law must not only face the challenge of law doctrine,but also deal with the challenge of artificial intelligence.Therefore,in the context of the Internet era with both opportunities and challenges,if the study of “social science law” is to continue to exist and develop,it must not only seek cooperation with law doctrine,but also have a clear understanding of its own position in theory.On the one hand,it must solve the problem of its own value legitimacy and avoid going to extremes;On the other hand,starting from its own theoretical limitations,improve its own method of argumentation,form its own academic system,expand its own academic team. |
