“技艺理性”是英国普通法中一个重要的概念,它指涉的是普通法法律人经过长期的教育和训练,在无数代智识经验积累之上所具有的法律实践理性。它有别于人生而具有的“自然理性”。“技艺理性”不仅在近代英国司法独立和法治社会过程中发挥了积极推动作用,而且深刻解释了英国普通法的本质特征。 “Technical rationality ” is an important concept in the common law in the United Kingdom. It refers to the legal practice rationality that common law legal persons have accumulated through countless generations of wisdom and knowledge after long-term education and training. It is different from life and has “natural reason ”. “Technical rationality ” not only played an active role in promoting judicial independence and law-based society in modern England, but also profoundly explained the essential features of common law in Britain.
