An attempt of the analysis of the penal law construction of intentionality
Abstract
The article indicates incoherencies in Art. 7 § 1 of the Penal Code of 1969. The
notion of intentionality de lege lata goes beyond linguistic intuitions and is of
eclectic character. Discussing the form of intentionality known as dolus eventualis
the author supports W. Wolter's theory of neutrality, stressing its conclusion
according to which dolus eventualis is only a fiction of intention. The author
critically presents a new approach to intentionality put forth by K. Buchała and
A. Zoll.
Analizing the question of „dolus directus" the author indicates that also in
that case lawyers create the fiction of intentionality. Namely, they refer „wanting"
to the necessary side-effect of the perpetrator's behaviour. There is an error in
this reasoning, for one may „want" something that is the aim of one's behaviour
or a means necessary to the attainment of that aim, and not something that is
„disconnected" from that aim, being only a side-effect of one's behaviour. The
author assumes that in the latter case there is no intention but the neutrality of
will related to the side-effect understood by the perpetrator as necessary, just as
in the case of dolus eventualis in W. Wolter's conception where the neutrality of
will is referred to the side-effect understood by the perpetrator as possible.
In the last part of the article the author formulates two versions of defining
intentionality de lege ferenda. The first refers to the contents of Art. 7 § 1 of the
Penal Code, the second to the proposal put forth by K. Buchała and A. Zoll.
Finally the author points to the methodological advantages of his formula in
the context of so-called directional offences.
