Resumo

O nojo pode prever a tomada de decisões jurídicas? Uma perspectiva de jurisprudência experimental sobre emoções viscerais e o Estado de Direito

Neste artigo, questionamos se a teoria do raciocínio moral desenvolvida por Jonathan Haidt pode ser adaptada de forma útil para esclarecer aspectos do raciocínio jurídico. Segundo o intuicionismo social de Haidt, o raciocínio moral é incapaz de controlar nossas intuições morais. O raciocínio moral não passa de uma racionalização ex post de intuições formadas de maneira independente. Mas será que recuperamos o controle ao passar do âmbito moral para o jurídico? Podemos controlar a aplicação das normas jurídicas ou nossos julgamentos jurídicos, assim como os julgamentos morais, são resultado da influência distorciva das intuições? Para explorar essa questão, tentaremos desenvolver e discutir um protocolo experimental centrado no papel do nojo na tomada de decisões baseadas em regras. Tentaremos ilustrar uma metodologia que possa esclarecer a psicologia da obediência às regras, discutindo seus pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos.
