Rewriting the Rules of the Game: Epistemological and Ontological Challenges at the Intersection of Legal Science and Data Science
摘要
This study examines the epistemological and ontological challenges emerging from the intersection of data science and law. Through a multidisciplinary lens, it analyzes how predictive and language models in the legal domain challenge traditional legal theory and redefine key legal categories. The research highlights the tension between data-driven approaches and conventional legal reasoning, emphasizing the need for a reflexive legal rationality. This framework aims to critically integrate data science insights while maintaining the nuanced interpretative nature of legal thought. The article explores the implications of algorithmic decision-making in law, addressing issues of transparency, accountability, and the changing nature of legal knowledge. The methodology employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining conceptual analysis and literature review. By proposing a balanced approach that harnesses the power of data science without compromising legal principles, this study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on responsible integration of technology in legal practice and theory.
