论合同自由原则及其限制

自由是人类的永恒追求，合同自由是合同法的灵魂，自由原则亦是我国合同法的核心原则，贯穿整个合同法的始终。但是，自由并非是绝对的，无限制的自由是对权利的滥用，不利于权利的有效行使和各方主体价值利益的平衡，因此我国合同法又对自由原则进行了诸多合理的限制，如强制缔约、标准合同、附随义务、诚实信用、公序良俗等。

Study on Freedom of Contracting and its Restrictions

Freedom is the value eternally pursued by human beings. Freedom of contracting is the core and the key principle of the Contract Law of the People＇s Republic of China. However, freedom is not absolute, for unlimited freedom is the abuse of rights and is not good for the effective exercising of rights and the balancing of private in- terests of contract parties. Therefore, our Chinese contract law establishes some reasonable restrictions to the freedom of contracting, such as mandatory contracting, standard contract, collateral obligations, good faith, and public order etc.
