The Conceptualization on Legal Emotionalism
The Conceptualization on Legal Emotionalism
Keywords:
Emotionalism, Irrationalization, Legal ScienceAbstract
Emotion is naturally indicated as a binary opposition to the reason. The science of emotion is initiatively accepted as a first step of applied philosophy, however, the foundational studies concerning the psychology have creatively been created and its extension into the sociology and anthropology so-called sociology of emotion and anthropology of emotion respectively including political sciences and international relations. From this reason, the social science of emotion is widely expanding, notwithstanding, the emotional and legal studies is likely to be the impossibility of studies. Concretely, the law is truthfully and forcefully to be the science of rationalization, particularly, legisprudence, criminal justice system that is seemingly to be a system of an ultimate justice.
Legal emotionalism is inviting methodology or creatively approaches to be looking at the crucially existential world. But the law has long-lasting been ignoring and counting the emotional science into legal studies. Additionally, the appearance of emotion has obviously expressed in the legisprudence, its implementation, criminal justice system and also the judicial making process. Initially, the comprehensively understanding conceptualization of the philosophy of emotion, the influence of social studies of emotion, the procedural movement of emotion in legal philosophy have creatively been investigated. Therefore, emotions and laws are increasingly pinpointing the value-added of the combination of emotion and legal science, the hybridizing emotional and legal textual analysis, the positive approach of the emotion and justice system, the emotion and the judiciary, last but not least, the emotion and international legal studies by inviting methodology from the study of international relations.
Legal emotionalism is crucially and creatively tools for the legal analysis from the westernized world academically, for example, Martha Craven Nussbaum. Importantly, she is the founding parent of the science of emotionally legal philosophy and also her contribution to the current development of international legal philosophy. Moreover, legal emotionalism is fulfilling the knowledge gap in the mainstream of traditional legal studies that has inseparably been attached the rationalization since its establishment of the law. So, legal emotionalism is obviously counting the irrationalization into the core of the legal science and also covering and widening the conceptualizing the justice from the increasing angles.
