How do we determine truth? | Andrew Bell

Описание: All our links: https://linktr.ee/centreforindependen...

In the 21st Acton Lecture, hosted by the Centre for Independent Studies, the Honourable Andrew Bell, Chief Justice of New South Wales, delves into the pressing issue of ‘truth decay’ and its impact on the administration of justice in Australia.

Our courts rely on truth grounded in evidence, rigorously tested through the adversarial system, and specifically tied to the legal questions at hand. However, the rise of postmodern ideas of subjective truth is influencing society’s understanding of truth, affecting how justice is pursued.

In this lecture, Chief Justice Bell explores the characteristics of ‘truth decay’ and examines its effect on the relationship between truth, honesty, and justice within the judicial process. This is an issue of significant public concern with far-reaching implications for the rule of law and the integrity of our justice system.

Following the lecture, Chief Justice Bell engages in a thought-provoking discussion on the topic with Peter Kurti, Director of the Culture, Prosperity & Civil Society program at CIS. Don't miss this deep dive into the challenges facing modern justice.
