依法治国是我国的一项治国方略,是依照体现人民意志和社会发展规律的法律治理国家,而不是依照个人意志、主张治理国家。然而,依法治国在我国是一种荡涤人治的治国理念,也是一种治国方式,与法治有所区别,前者强调的是过程,后者一般是指一种状态或结果。只有严格把握依法治国的要义,并对之进行限定,才能最终走向法治。 Ruling the country according to law is a country’s strategy of running the country, governing the country in accordance with the law that reflects the wills of the people and the law of social development, rather than following the will of the individual and governing the country. However, governing the country according to law is a kind of rule of law in our country, which is also a way of governing the state by the rule of man. It is also a way of governing the state, which is different from the rule of law. The former emphasizes the process and the latter generally refers to a state or result. Only by strictly grasping the essence of governing the country according to law and by limiting it can it eventually lead to the rule of law.
