PEREIRA, Gustavo. Anonymous injustice: distortions in the application of justice. Sig. Fil [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.41, pp.148-168.  Epub 04-Abr-2022. ISSN 1665-1324.

Social pathologies understood as the imposition, in a practical context, of a form of practical rationality alien to it, have the effect of distorting the shared meaning of such context. In the particular case of justice, this is expressed in the distortion of the practice of its application. As a consequence, those who implement justice, instead of being guided by the goal of ensuring equal dignity, do so by strategic, cost-benefit or instrumental logic. This causes a type of injustice that I call anonymous because, like social pathologies, it cannot be attributed to an agent or group of agents. The way to counteract this type of obstacle to the realization of justice is the introduction of cognitive dissonance that provokes processes of reflection and reappropriation of the shared sense of the practice of application by the ones who have to realize the principles and normative criteria adopted.

Palavras-chave : social justice; social pathologies; equal dignity; cognitive dissonance; application of justice.
