Ономастический софизм: изменять, а не познавать (о толковании Конституции)
The author of this article restarts the polemics around the realist theory of interpretation. Examining the thesis of this theory about identity of legal interpretation and jurisdictional decision-making, the author proves that confusion between these two different phenomena is based on incorrect use of the term “interpretation”. In the article are discussed six meanings of this term, at least present in legal interpretation, and each meaning must be used in the appropriate context. Undue confusion between these meanings enables the partisans of the realist theory of interpretation to construct “interpretation” as a notion without clear conceptual limits. This argument is designated by the author as an onomastic sophism, as a rhetoric stratagem based on the idea that a term has the same meaning in different contexts. The author repudiates the thesis forwarded by the realists that it is impossible to cognize meaning of legal texts, and draws on the incoherence of this argumentation which lastly recognizes a possibility to attribute a meaning through a judicial decision. In general, as O. Pfersmann argues, the realist theory of interpretation intends to justify changes in constitution through judicial argumentation without considering the order prescribed by the constitution for changes and amendments.

In this article the author examines the problems connected with definition of nature of constitutional interpretation. On the base of the cases from the judicial practice, Michel Troper shows that specificity of constitutional interpretation does not reside in particular character of constitution which is the object of interpretation. According to this French theorist who is leader of the school of French legal realism, the particular trait of constitutional interpretation is due to the fact that this kind of interpretation results in constructing a hierarchy of normative acts in a given legal order. Even if such a hierarchy is described in a constitution, it will nevertheless remain hypothetical and subject to changes through an act of constitutional interpretation. Michel Troper insists that a meaning of a legal text cannot be defined prior to interpretation; therefore this legal text will not have any definitive content before being interpreted. The French theorist concludes that a legal norm is not created by the way of legislation — it is created through authentic interpretation of the legislative acts. As authentic interpretation the author holds such construction of a legal text which brings any legally relevant consequences having binding force in this given legal order, there consequences being immune to overruling by any higher instance. Such interpretation can be exercised both by judicial and non-jurisdictional bodies.
