Prawo bez autorytetu – prawo pozbawione sumienia...
Abstract
Andrzej Bałandynowicz’s text takes up the central topic of
conscience in the context of the existing condition of law in Poland.
Law „without conscience” is, according to the author’s analyses,
the effect of a gap the system of formal regulations and
the universal system of moral beliefs shared by the society. The
fundamental demand here is then the return to law finding its
roots in morality. In this way it will regain authority, indispensable
also as far as its actual effectiveness is concerned. The author’s
reflection is focused on specific, binding legal solutions within the
scope of social service activity and criminal responsibility system
functioning. In both cases, the deficiencies – contrary to the functions
declared – result in the deepening of segregation and social
exclusion of individuals processes.
