A nova visão do direito a partir da epistemologia situacional

Abstract

This work explores four interconnected areas: Game Theory, Social Game Theory, Lawand Situational Epistemology. Firstly, there is the presentation of Game Theory, a mathematicaland economic approach to analyzing strategic interactions between rational agents. It addressesconcepts such as Nash equilibrium, zero-sum games and dominant strategies, to confirm theiruse in multiple fields. Next, the Social Game Theory approach, which is an approach proposedby Carlos Matus that seeks to encompass social and political dynamics, incorporating a strategicand interactive vision of the actors involved. Matus argues that political decisions cannot beunderstood solely through technical and objective analysis, but must take into account powerrelations, the interests of the different social actors and the influences of the political and socialcontext. By integrating Game Theory and Social Game Theory into the legal sphere, we areable to demonstrate that these theories can shed light on understanding the legal system, itsstructures and the dynamics of social relations, highlighting how strategic interactions andsocial elements impact legal issues and judicial processes Finally, Situational Epistemology isintroduced as an approach that considers the influence of context on the construction ofknowledge. There is an analysis of how the intersection of previous theories can corroborate adeeper understanding of situational epistemology, especially when applied to the legal andsocial fields. Throughout the paper, we seek to highlight the synergy between these disciplines,emphasizing how the combination of Game Theory, Social Game Theory, Law and SituationalEpistemology can enrich the understanding of the complexities in social, legal andepistemological interactions
