| Description | Legal and judicial systems elevate judges to the position of power. The current culture of reasoning then forces them to substantiate their decisions and, to a certain extent, does not allow the bias and ideological thinking of the judge to be fully manifested. Ideology therefore appears secretly in decision-making, it is hidden behind fig leaves of vague expressions. At the time of emptying the meanings of words, terms such as "decency" or "common sense" appear in the discourse. These seemingly abstract expressions serve to depersonate the judge's bias and create the appearance of objective reality, where the judge puts himself in the role of a hegemon who decides what is right, wise, rational. Those who rebel against the newly set reality are then displaced as fools who want to oppose the natural (or reasonable, rational) order of the world. |
