Good faith (will)

The notion of good faith in the law is extremely puzzling to me, because it does not change reality, but affects judgment. I give some quotes from different authors:

In “Images of Good and Evil,” Ms. Buber defines good as directing human life.

Jan Assman in “Maat. Justice and immortality in ancient Egypt” defines the goddess Maat as follows: “… According to this interpretation, Maat would originally be something of a sense of the direction of reality imagined as a process or movement, possibly a force that gives some movement the right direction.”

Buber states that the tree of knowledge of good and evil described in the Bible refers to knowing opposites (all opposites of being): “Man learns antitheticism only by being in it. It is, after all, that the process in the soul of man becomes a process in the world. By knowing the antithytic in the current reality, antithyticism already seduces in creation. It becomes existing.”

L. Wittgenstein “The Treaty” (thesis 6.43): “If good or bad will changes the world, it is only its limits, not its facts: not what can be expressed in language. In short: the world must then become different at all. It has to shrink or expand as a whole.”
