Secondary title: | The role of irrationality in the process of the judicial decision-making |
Secondary abstract: | The article outlines the importance of reason and reasoning based on categorical syllogisms - and the role they play in modern legal thought. The author compares the role of reason in western legal systems with findings concerning the processes of irrational decision-making, as portrayed by modern psychology. Emphasis is given on the role of anchoring and hindsight bias. The mechanisms with which legislators tackle those cognitive illusions are also briefly presented. In the conclusion, the author argues that an interdisciplinary approach to law is necessary to uphold the fiction of law as a rational category. A self-reflective and systematic approach is needed to tackle the problem of irrationality in judicial decision-making. This approach is only possible with knowledge of both, law and psychology. |
