| 實物特徵: | This paper deals with the concepts of rationality and irrationality in law. It is a study on comparative law, centred in the medieval and contemporary notions of perjury and false testimony. It will be argued that the juridical field has an arsenal of semantic tools at its disposal, which allow it to bring ancient elements and concepts into the present and give them a new meaning. The juridical field may not, however, get rid of the non-rational basis of the elements and concepts that it dislocates. Making them part of a dogma, modern law may render “normal” and “acceptable” elements of a tradition which is beyond the grip of logical rationality. This tradition is, nonetheless, intelligible from the perspective of a practical rationality. |
