摘　　要：自由心证与主观主义、唯心主义没有必然联系,自由心证更不等于自由擅断。现代自由心证已经克服了传统自由心证擅断的弊端,既强调法官的自由判断,也强调法官应遵守法律的规定以及判决结果和理由的公开性,是法官在遵守法律规定的前提下,依据良知和理性行使自由裁量权,从而形成法官内心确信的过程。具有中国特色的法官依法独立审查判断证据的原则,吸收了现代自由心证的合理因素,体现了主客观的统一,符合现代民事诉讼的发展方向。There is no necessary connection between discretional evaluation of evidence and subjectivism or idealism. Discretional evaluation of evidence differs greatly from arbitrary decision. Modern discretional evaluation of evidence has gotten rid of the disadvantages of the traditional one. It emphasizes not only a judge' s discretion, but also his compliance with law and publicity of decisions and rationale of adjudication. In a word, modern discretional evaluation of evidence is a process for the judge's exerting discretion with conscience and rationality. That Chinese judges weigh the evidence independently in accordance with law proves that the concept of modern doctrine of discretion has been introduced into China and it embodies the combination of subjectivity and objectivity. Such a procedure with Chinese characteristics is consistent with the development of modern civil procedure law.
