"... és a felelősségtől való rettegés" : "A kontárság kultuszának" folytatása

A razor‑sharp essay unfolds around the strange French devotion to “being irresponsible,” a cultural habit that the author traces back to the post‑Revolution legal reforms. By framing law as a shield that lets judges hide behind text rather than conscience, the book exposes how a system built on absolute legalism can erode personal accountability. The opening chapters sketch the historical shift from monarchic mercy to a doctrine where the law, not the judge, bears the verdict, turning responsibility into a collective myth.

Through witty historical vignettes and incisive legal commentary, the author dissects the paradox of a society that prizes competence enough to codify it, yet celebrates the very incompetence that lets officials escape moral blame. Listeners are invited to reconsider whether strict adherence to statutes truly serves justice, or merely perpetuates a “cult of incompetence” that frees the powerful from ethical reckoning. The tone is both scholarly and provocatively playful, making a dense subject feel surprisingly immediate.
