摘要
大陆法系国家的约束性辩论原则(辩论主义)从古罗马时代、中世纪时期到80世纪及至今,经历了肯定、否定、再肯定三个阶段。英美法系国家没有使用辩论原则(辩论主义)的概念,但从十一世纪初开始逐步形成的对抗制包含了辩论原则(辩论主义)的内容。社会主义国家在批判西方国家民事诉讼辩论原则的同时,确立了非约束性辩论原则。约束性辩论原则和非约束性辩论原则具有不同的内涵和特征,地位和功能亦大异其趣。
From Ancient Roman, the Medieval, the 1980s till now, the national bounding debate principle of the continental laws system has undergone three stages of being positive, negative, then positive again. The countries of British and American laws system didn't use the definition of debate principle, but the antagonistic system formed slowly in the early eleventh century covers the content of debate principle. While criticizing the debate principle of civil actions in Western countries, the socialist countries established the non-bounding debate principle that is different from the bounding debate principle in content, individuality, status and function.
