Guy Haarscher, The Trial in Perelman's Work
In Perelman's work, the trial is considered only from the point of view of the decision by the judge. This is to be understood by reference to the general Perelmanian philosophy: from "De la Justice" to the "Traité de l'Argumentation", Perelman tries to find a middle way between the universal and the particular. The decision by the judge and its motivation constitutes for Perelman the paradigm of such a middle way.
