The Drama of Judgment invites a reconsideration of the fundamental concepts underpinning the judicial experience. It challenges both the mechanistic conception of logical judgment and the notion of arbitrary subjectivism, instead situating the act of judgment within an intersubjective space. This rethinking is accompanied by a renewal of language, imbuing the qualificative terms of judgment with new semantic nuances − more positive, more trustful. This contribution proposes an interpretation of the text through the technique of word cloud analysis, exploring the author’s innovative ideas and suggesting that judgment, beyond being a drama, is fundamentally nourished by human relationships, by individuals who act, communicate, and judge. The reflections developed here offer a framework for rereading Lo Giudice’s work, highlighting how, in many instances, it provides compelling insights for a rhetorical perspective on law.
