摘　　要：错误的实用主义法律真理观对法治事业产生了破坏性的影响,揭示其错误性有助于消除或减轻这种影响。从实用主义者的论述中,可以总结出三种不同的实用主义真理观:(1)一个信念是真的,当且仅当它在理想条件下能够获得辩护;(2)一个信念是真的,当且仅当它能够得到经验的检验;(3)一个信念是真的,当且仅当基于这一信念的行动能够带来某种好处。基于第一种实用主义真理观,有学者认为法律领域仅具有“中度客观性”;第二种、第三种实用主义真理观则分别与法律现实主义、法律实用主义密切相关。经过细致的考察可以发现,这三种实用主义真理观都不能适用到法律领域,作为法律真理的定义或标准。The legal truth theory of pragmatism has played a destructive role in the cause of rule of law and revealing its mistakes will help to eliminate or mitigate this impact.From pragmatists’discourses,three different views of truth can be summarized:(1)a belief is true if and only if it can be defended under ideal conditions;(2)a belief is true,if and only if it can be tested by experience;(3)a belief is true if and only if actions based on this belief can bring some benefit.All these pragmatic views of truth have supporters in the legal field,and to varying degrees have harmed the idea of rule of law.Based on the first view,some scholars believe that the legal field only has moderate objectivity,while the second and third view are closely related to legal realism and legal pragmatism,respectively.However,after careful inspection,it can be found that none of these pragmatic views can be applied to the legal field as a definition or standard for judging whether a legal proposition is true.
