indokoltságát

Indokoltság: The Hungarian word *indokoltság*, derived from the verb *indokolni* (to justify), refers to the state or quality of being justified or the justification itself. In everyday language, the term is applied when evaluating the reasonableness of an action, statement, or decision. For instance, one might say *A döntés indokoltsága nem volt egyértelmű* (The justification for the decision was not clear).

In legal contexts *indokoltság* is a key concept for establishing liability, procedural fairness, and the validity of rules. Courts demand that administrative measures be *indokoltságos*; that is, they must be accompanied by a clear, logical explanation linking the action to the underlying legal principle. The absence of *indokoltság* can render a verdict void or subject to appeal. In civil law, the burden of proof typically requires the plaintiff to supply a *indoklás*, an argument that their claim has a legitimate basis. Similarly, procedural law codifies that judicial orders must be *indokoltságos* for the extended right of appeal.

In philosophical discourse, *indokoltság* is synonymous with rationality and justification. Epistemologists use the term to discuss *indokoltságot* in the process of knowledge acquisition – the extent to which a belief is supported by evidence and logical inference. The Hungarian philosophy tradition cites historic thinkers such as Ferenc Margitka, who examined *indokoltság* as a substrate of ethical decision-making.

In contemporary usage, *indokoltság* is also found in public discourse, for example in media reporting about corporate decisions, governmental policy, or the allocation of public funds. Analysts examine whether the stated motives are *indokoltságos*, evaluating critical factors such as transparency, evidence, and compliance with established norms. The term thus occupies a central position across fields concerned with reasoning, accountability, and procedural integrity.
