Abstract

Impartial sympathy is the main implication of agapic casuistry in judicial decision-making. The principle of love implies that judges administering law should pursue the good of the people affected by their decisions. No one can do good to the other without the knowledge of the other’s needs, therefore sympathy judgement is based on the knowledge of the personality of the people affected by decision. It is opposed to judgements which disregard the uniqueness of the individual.
