诚实信用诉讼原则之道统思想释明

Confucian Orthodox Ideology Embodied in the Principle of Good Faith as Applied in China’s Legal Practice

通说认为，我国现行诉讼制度的程序设计和体现出的思想理念是以西方为参照的，与中国传统思想文化（即道统思想）没有太多关联。事实上，现行诉讼法中的诚实信用原则、调解与和解制度、近亲属免证制度、近亲属辩护制度等诸多规定所包含的思想理念，都能从中国传统思想文化中得到本体论层面的充分阐释。本文以诚实信用诉讼原则之道统思想释明作为该领域持续研究的开端。

It is generally believed that the procedural designs and underlying assumptions of China＇s cur- rent legal system are established with reference to the West, thus having little relevance to China＇s traditional ideological culture embodied in the Confucian orthodox ideology. In reality, however, an adequate interpretation can be made, ontologically and from the perspective of traditional Chinese ideological culture, of the good faith principle, the mediation and reconciliation practice, the practice of refrained close relatives＇ testimony, and the practice of close relatives＇ defense. This paper initiates a sequence of studies with an interpretation and clarifica- tion of the Confucian orthodox ideology embodied in the principle of good faith.
