Sobre la complejidad de la decisión judicial

This article aims to explain the complexity and the crucial role of judicial decision and argues that the purpose of the judicial decision consists of settling a controversy according to legal and controllable rational criteria. To achieve the proposed goal, the author refers to the (i) Dialectical, (ii) Epistemological, (iii) Juridical, (iv) Logical, (v) Axiological, and (vi) common sense dimensions, as explanatory categories of judicial reasoning. It is concluded that the construction process of the argumentative reasoning of the judge, at the time of motivating its decision, is complex because it does not depend on a single system or dimension, but on the contrary, it is based on diverse disciplines, on logical and cognitive structures, and even on experience as a justifying premise.
