Podmioty w dyskursie interpretacyjnym : motywacja, interes a wybór rezultatu

Abstract

The process of interpretation is not uniform — this obvious statement is multifaceted. Some of them, although intuitively felt, have not been given any broader analysis so far. The issue of the subjects/entities giving interpretations: their rights, obligations, restrictions, legitimised intentions, is what makes up such a facet. Paradoxically, despite the fact that the lawgiver is not an individual entity, almost exclusively the construct of its ‘intentions’ and ‘objectives of acting’ is discussed and analysed as a factor that should / should not influence the interpretative process and its final results. Amazingly enough, nothing has been said about the role of the interpreter’s intention, motivation and expected results in the process of interpretation. Thus, it seems to be neglected an important component of the interpretive activity — a full picture of those who with the help of law pursue promoting their own interests. This text does not constitute a comprehensive study, but rather aims to encourage reflection on the circle of entities giving interpretations, and their division into categories. On this basis, some of the differences and similarities in the way of interpretation resulting from the difference of the position and interests of each category of entities will be presented, with a special emphasis on the issues of lying and honesty.
