Mimetics in judicial argumentation: A theoretical exploration

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

To resolve a conflict of opinion regarding the past it is inevitable to present a reconstruction of that past, explicitly or implicitly. This we call the mimetic element. On an abstract level, a complete argumentation in the genus iudiciale requires a start that is mimetic and a follow-up that is diegetic. The question to be discussed is whether mimetic elements need to be formatted as sets of propositions and if so by whom.
