摘　　要：《威尼斯商人》中的法律问题历来是莎士比亚学者和法学家争论不休的话题之一。本文试图从法理学的角度入手,着力分析该剧中自始至终贯穿的两种迥乎不同的法律视角:一种法律视角可以称之为法律的内在视角,它视法律为白纸黑字的封闭系统,另一种则可以称之为法律的外在视角,它将法律看成是某种政策性的工具。《威尼斯商人》在恪守"守法主义"精神的同时,也见证了莎士比亚对法律合法性的深入思考,两种内外法律视角的共存与杂糅是导致威尼斯法律困境的重要原因之一。As an economic policy,the Venetian law in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice,by promoting an ethics of legality,guarantees the economic prosperity of Venice.On the one hand,the law is viewed as a self-contained system,strictly obeying the inner logic of its own;but on the other hand,the Venetian legal system,characterized by its instrumentalism,fails to provide a coherent moral foundation for its own validity.By focusing on the two perspectives of legal hermeneutics and legal polity,this paper argues that the coexistence of two legal perspectives and sometimes their confusion throughout this Shakespearean play has led to its complexity and richness.
