Ideology as part of human's societal existence is itself organic component of the ontology of social existence. The way we think in is part of what we truly are. Juristic world-view as the deontoloy of the legal profession is one of the factors of the law's social existence. Actual decision making in law is modelled by the logic of…Read more

1La nature de l'établissement judiciaire des faitsArchives de Philosophie du Droit 40 396-409. 1995.L'auteur rappelle que les faits pertinents pour le droit sont, comme ceux de la science ou de la perception, construits par l'homme et en l'occurrence par le système juridique.
