讲座摘要：
信义义务的规范分析，尤其是正当性分析一直被理论界所忽略。Miller教授将在本次讲座中介绍其构建的信义义务的四维分析框架，并分析信义义务蕴含的价值及其正当性。
首先，四维分析框架对信义法的正当性问题与讨论法律性质及其规范性的一般法理学文献进行了联结。第二，四维分析框架解释了信义法在规范上的复杂性——结构上的双面性——一般的衡平法原则（设定义务的规则）与定义定性信义关系的普通法和衡平法原则（主要体现为赋权规则）的叠加。第三，四维分析框架从各类信义关系的特殊正当性中抽象出信义义务的一般正当性。第四，四维分析框架概述了信义关系的价值所在，其对一般正当性和特殊正当性的关注体现为保护信义关系的当事人、第三方和公众的利益的规则。这些规则在赋予受信人执行受托事务的权力的同时，对其权力进行相应的规范限制。
The normative analysis of fiduciary duties, especially the justification analysis, has been neglected by the doctrine. In his lecture, Professor Miller will introduce his four-dimensional analytical framework to examine the values embedded in fiduciary duties and their justification.First, it situates questions about the morality of fiduciary law within the context of the general jurisprudential literature on the nature of law and its normativity. Second, it explains the sense in which fiduciary law is normatively complex by virtue of being structurally biplanar, with general equitable principles (duty-imposing rules) overlain upon legal and equitable principles (including, notably, power-conferring rules) that define and enable legal forms of relationship characterized as fiduciary in equity. Third, it distinguishes the general morality of fiduciary duties from the special morality of fiduciary relationship types. Fourth, and finally, it provides an overview of loci of value in fiduciary relationships, canvassing considerations of general and special morality that give salience to the interests of parties, third parties, and the public in rules that enable and constrain the performance of fiduciary mandates.
