中西诚信文化比较的新视角

针对中西诚信文化的差异，从中西诚信文化的社会背景、作用范围、价值取向以及约束机制四个方面进行分析比较，得出中西诚信文化在纵向单向性与横向双向性、狭隘性与广泛性、道义性与功利性以及自律性与制度性方面存在差异的结论，从而启示我们必须将中国的道德诚信与西方的契约诚信、中国的自律诚信与西方的制度诚信有机结合起来，汲取西方诚信文化的合理内核，构建适应中国现代社会发展需要的新型诚信文化。

New perspective of comparison of honesty cultures between China and Western countries

Aimed at the difference of honesty cultures in China and Western countries,analysis and comparison are made from such four aspects as social background,function range,value orientation and restraint mechanism.Conclusions are drawn that there are differences between honesty cultures in China and Western countries in aspects of vertical one-sidedness and horizontal double-sidedness,parochialism and generality,morality and utility,and self-discipline and regulation.It inspires us that we must combine Chinese moral honesty and Western contract honesty,Chinese self-disciplined honesty and Western regulatory honesty,and to absorb the reasonable core of Western honesty culture,in order to construct new type of honesty culture which acclimatizes the demand of development of modern society in China.
