Abstract: The objective of this work is to investigate the concept of judgment as a production of subjectivity, in order to understand whether there are relations between the judicialization of life and the growing social polarization. For this, we list some works by Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in which the judgment appears as a central or transversal theme. From the studies and analyzes of these works it was possible to understand with Foucault a genealogical perspective of justice that precludes any notion of neutrality and promotes the hypothesis that polarization may be the effect of the hypertrophy of the judicialization of life. Deleuze and Guattari provide an intensive reading of morals and ethics as components of subjectivity, with morality being a fundamental element of judgment and an instrument of life’s closure; while ethics allows the evaluation of events, moving us from the binomial good and bad and making vital power viable.
