legal realism, motivation, legal emotion, psychology and lawAbstract
The research being conducted in the field of psychology, neuroscience, and other empirical sciences significantly expands our understanding of the relationship between emotions, motivation, and law. However, most studies focus on specific legal issues and do not consistently present the importance of emotions and motivation in legal theory. Therefore, it is considered necessary to discuss a broader theoretical framework that allows us to use acquired knowledge comprehensively and explain the nature of the law. To this end, it is suggested to turn to the psychological theory of law. This theory, developed by Leon Petra?ycki known and recognized by English-speaking legal theorists. Key ideas that form the foundation of the psychological theory of law will be analyzed. Special attention is given to the analysis of the nature of the legal experience and its elements, such as emotions, representation, association, and motivation. It is postulated that it is possible to develop an updated version of Petra?ycki’s psychological theory of law, based on modern scientific knowledge, which coherently and adequately explains the motivational character of law.
