在当代中国,法律方法论的幼稚确实是一个不争的事实。然而,这种幼稚的程度怎样?一个恰如其分的定位也许是,法律方法论正处在学步阶段。法律方法论和医学、工程学方法处在同一历史起点,为何后者成熟、发达了,而其却尚未长大?法律方法的落后与法律主体、自然、社会、文化、历史等一般因素,以及法典化不足,法官不独立等外在因素不无关系,但根本原因也许在于政治的宽容性、民主性不足。在中国,法律方法论发达的出路是民主政治的不断发展和完善。 In contemporary China, the maturity of legal methodology is indeed an indisputable fact. However, what is the extent of this childishness? A proper positioning may be that legal methodology is at a toddler stage. The methodology of law and the method of medicine and engineering are at the same historical starting point. Why is the latter mature and well-developed, yet it has not yet grown up? The backwardness of legal methods and the general factors such as legal subject, nature, society, culture and history, However, the fundamental reason may lie in the tolerance of politics and the lack of democracy. In China, the way out of legal methodology is the continuous development and improvement of democratic politics.
