Political Judgment, Ideology and Utopia
Political Judgment, Ideology and Utopia
Keywords:
Political Judgment, Ideology, Utopia, ImaginaryAbstract
This present article introduces a specific conception of imaginary, a legal imaginary, through the concepts of political judgment and ideology as developed in the philosophies of Hannah Arendt and Paul Ricoeur. The article then proceeds to clarify the notion of political judgment in Arendt´s work and how ideology and utopia are themselves related in Ricoeur´s reflections on the just. The research adopted literature review centered on those three concepts within the works of Arendt and Ricoeur as its methodology in order to develop a conception of legal imaginary that is entrenched in ordinary legal practice, but also has a potential radical normativity that transcends the values and references that are already part of the legal sphere. The article concludes that this concept of legal imaginary is related to a collective projection of social relations and political structures regarded as more desirable, which characterizes it as essential contestable political concept: each group projects on this imaginary his values, convictions, and desires, interpreting and operationalizing legal norms through such particular references.
