对刑事辩护制度理论基础的再认识

作为现代刑事诉讼中的一项基本法律制度 ,刑事辩护制度的生成有其深刻的理论基础。本文反思了传统法学理论在刑事辩护制度的理论基础方面的狭隘认识论观点 ,在吸收当今理论界的一些开拓性观点的同时 ,提出作者对刑事辩护制度理论基础的再认识。本文认为 ,程序主体性理论从平等理性的角度奠定了刑事辩护制度的伦理学基础 ,民主原则则从合法性角度为刑事辩护制度奠定了政治学基础 ,而对立统一规律构成了刑事辩护制度的认识论基础。

Reflections on the Theoretical Basis of Criminal Defense

As the basic legal regime of modern criminal proceeding, the development of criminal defense has its profound theoretical basis. The paper reflects the narrow traditional concpets concerning criminal defence and absorbs some of liberal ideas of the theoretical circles. The author holds that the theory of procedural subject forms the ethical basis of criminal defense with respect to equality, and the rule of democracy forms the political basis of criminal defense from the view of legality, and the law of unity of opposites builds the cognitional basis of criminal defense.
