Description This paper focuses on the issue of argumentation by the means of Fiction and other belletristic works of art in the context of decisions of The Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic. Its reasoning stems from the statutory requirement of “persuasiveness” of judicial reasoning. Further, it addresses the importance of the reflection of narrative experience and metaphor in understanding. In the subsequent part, this paper presents and discusses the results of a brief quantitative survey of practical usage of argumentation and references to Fiction in the decisions of The Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic.
