合同的解释是解决合同纠纷过程中的重要问题。关于合同解释的目标,理论上有意思主义与表示主义两种。二者之间的争论充斥着整个合同解释理论的发展史。论文通过分析,指出此二者虽各具一定的合理性,但均未对合同解释的目标做出本质的诠释。进而提出:合同解释的目标,乃是探求合同的规范意义。 The explanation of the contract is an important issue in the process of settling the contract dispute. On the purpose of contract interpretation, in theory there are two kinds of meaning and expressionism. The debate between the two is full of the history of the entire theory of contract interpretation. Through the analysis of the thesis, it is pointed out that although both of them have certain rationality, none of them gives an essential explanation for the goal of contract interpretation. Then put forward: the purpose of contract interpretation, but to explore the normative meaning of the contract.
