Il pentimento come atto giuridico / R. Mazzola. - In: RIFD. RIVISTA INTERNAZIONALE DI FILOSOFIA DEL DIRITTO. - ISSN 1593-7135. - 98:4(2021 Sep), pp. 773-786.
Abstract:
This article explores the opportunity to conceptualize “repentance”
as a legal notion. The same analysis was the object of Vincenzo Vitale’s former study pentimento e diritto: la nostalgia del perdono in which such
an opportunity was denied due to the fact that “legal” repentance lacks an
essential trait of repentance: the “suffered internal change” experienced by
the repentant. This article argues in favor of a different solution, primarily
conceptualizing repentance as a “social act”, a notion widely used in Adolf
Reinach’s phenomenology. In § 1, this article concisely describes the main
characteristics and presents a taxonomy of social acts. In § 2, it places re-
pentance within such a taxonomy, conceptualizing it as a “complex social
act”. Lastly, the article evaluates the opportunity to use the concept of
repentance as a “complex social act” to describe legal forms of repentance,
with specific reference to criminal law and restorative justice.
