Subjective and Objective Perception of Justice in Romania

摘要

The multitude of standards, rules, and social requirements which can be found in the contemporary world generates behaviours, attitudes and social representations of the most diverse. Their presence can be interpreted as the expression of postmodernism, the multiplication of social and symbolic marks or as a sign of weak thinking evoked by Gianni Vattimo in his writings. Thus, at the society level there appear quite clear reactions of acceptance and rejection of the rules, or deviant behaviours in accordance with accepted social norms, positive and negative representations of law and justice. In our opinion, these social effects bring forward an older debate on subjective and objective law. Correlating this Neo-Kantian approach with a number of current social phenomena can lead to a better understanding of a series of social phenomena and, implicitly, different ways of achieving social control.
