摘　　要：司法独立的理论基础 ,一是权力分立与制衡原理 ,二是主权在民的原理与原则。在古代主权在君的政治体制下 ,有某种权力监督的思想与制度设计 ,但不可能有近代意义的司法独立的原理与原则。近几十年来 ,有关司法独立的一系列国际文书的出现 ,标志着司法独立已经进入了一个新的历史发展阶段。司法独立与现代意义的民主、法治和人权密切联系在一起 ,其价值是多重的。要在中国真正实现司法独立 ,首先要在观念上进行更新 。Judicial independence is based on the following two theories: one is the theory of separation of power and check and balance and the other one is the theory and principle of popular sovereignty. In ancient time, under the political system of 'monarchical sovereignty', there were some ideas and institutional designs relating to the supervision of power, but no theory or principle of judicial independence in modern sense. During the last decades, with the adoption of a series of international instruments on judicial independence, the theory of judicial independence has entered into a new historical stage of development. Judicial independence is closely linked with democracy, the rule of law and human rights in modern sense and has multiple values. In order to truly realize judicial independence in China, we must first of all update the ideas and concepts about judicial independence, especially on five theoretical issues.
