The inquisitive method as a means of obtaining information
Keywords:
canon law, indagatio, information, Inquisitive methodAbstract
This paper analyzes the inquisitive method, firstly, as a means of obtaining information through the indagatio. Likewise, it describes the way in which this procedure, initially used to obtain knowledge under the scientific method, expands and is used in administrative and judicial practices, given its effectiveness in exercising control and maintaining vertical order between the sovereign and the citizen. It is adopted by canon law and, together with the universal power of the Church, it becomes a paradigm of that historical moment. With the information obtained and in view of some current practices, which can be observed in the phenomenon of secondary criminalization and in the rise of some doctrinal currents, it is concluded that the model is still valid and with the same historical purpose, as a tool verticalization of society, from the powerful to the weakest, beyond the design of the judicial process in force in society.
