Download or read book Aristotelian Protestantism in Legal Philosophy written by Liesbeth Huppes-Cluysenaer and published by DPSP. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the first-time English translation of the main work of Paul Scholten, the General Method of Private Law. The introductory article analyzes Scholten’s view in contrast with a particular combination of Comte’s centralizing optimization program and Neo-Kantian Idealism, which is still dominant in political philosophy. Comte’s sociology and Scholten’s Jurisprudentialism are not presented here in the well-known opposition of Sein and Sollen, but by showing how their different views on scientific method are grounded in opposite views on the philosophical, political and ethical meaning of human action. Neo-Kantianism adheres to Comte’s view, while Scholten adheres to the Aristotelian view, as it had developed in Christianity and had provided the protestant foundation of the Dutch Republic in the seventeenth century. Comte attacks Aristotelian Protestantism, which he characterizes as the metaphysical stage of the Western development of state: negative, protestant, constitutional and juridical. Scholten’s views oppose the inherent trend towards centralization in Comte’s program to cover all aspects of optimization for the best of all, ever better. That branch of political philosophy not only has shaky foundations in scientific method but also has reached its boundaries of operational applicability. Scholten’s views oppose the emphasis in Comte’s program on a unified general will and stress the need for accepting the existence of deeply conflicting philosophies of life in society. This has consequences for the organization of democracy regarding independence of specialized agencies, the role of civil society and the voting system. It not just holds for the state level but also for Unions and supranational organizations. The legal system plays a key role in this development. Scholten’s views and activities have had great posthumous impact for the reconstruction of society and politics in the first years after World War II. They contributed to the collaboration between the different denominations in the Protestant church, opened up the social-democratic party to different denominations and helped develop the cooperation of different Christian parties, leaving the cleavages of the pre-war political spectre behind. Authors and open reviewers who have contributed to the DPSP project, have a broad international background, apart from the Netherlands: Finland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Brazil, United States and Indonesia. Indonesia plays a substantial role in the book, as Scholten played a main role in setting up the legal education system in what was then the Netherlands Indies. Chapters 1.

Download or read book The New European Private Law Vol 3 Essays on the Future of Private Law in Europe written by Martijn Hesselink and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2002-10-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The New European Private Law, Martijn W. Hesselink presents a revised and supplemented collection of essays written over the last five years on European private law. He argues that the creation of a common private law in Europe is not merely a matter of rediscovering the old ius commune or of neutrally establishing the present 'common core' which may be codified in a European Civil Code. Rather, it is a matter of making choices, some of which may be highly controversial. In this book he discusses some of the most important choices which will have to be made with regard to culture, principles, politics, models, rights, concepts and structure in the new European private law.

Download or read book Judicial Sales of Ships written by Lief Bleyen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work focuses on a specific aspect of the enforcement of maritime claims, namely judicial sales of ships, a procedure creditors typically resort to in the event of an irreversible default situation. A substantial part of the book approaches the topic from a comparative perspective, the goal being to assess the similarities and differences of the judicial sale procedure between three specific jurisdictions: Belgium, the Netherlands, and England & Wales. In this study, the comparison is used to further analyse the impacts of these differences on the effectiveness and reliability of the judicial sale procedure in each jurisdiction and also forms the basis for assessing the feasibility of harmonising judicial sale procedures and fostering their acceptance. Considering the international character typical of judicial sales of ships, conflict-of-law questions are very likely to arise during these procedures. Accordingly, the comparative study, where appropriate, is viewed against a private international law background.

Download or read book Topics and Concepts in Literary Translation written by Roberto A. Valdeón and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores literary translation in a variety of contexts. The chapters showcase the research into literary translation in North America, Europe, and Asia. Written by a group of experienced researchers and young academics, the contributors study a variety of languages (including English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French, Japanese, Dutch, German, and Swedish), use a wide range of approaches (including quantitative review of literary translations; transfictional approaches to translation; and a review of concepts such as paratexts, intralingual translation, intertextuality, and retranslation), and aim to expand on existing debates on translation and translation studies as a discipline. The chapters aim to provide a panorama of the variety of topics and interests of contemporary translation studies, as well as problematize some of the concepts and approaches that seem to have become the only accepted/acceptable model in some academic quarters. This book was originally published as a special issue of Perspectives Studies in Translation Theory and Practice.

Download or read book Rewriting the Middle Ages in the Twentieth Century written by Jaume Aurell i Cardona and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rewriting the Middle Ages in the Twentieth Century offers analytical introductions to the biographical and academic trajectories as well as the scholarly contributions of the most important medievalists of the 20th century, privileging the contexts in which their influential texts in modern medieval studies were articulated and their effect on subsequent approaches to the field. The volume pays tribute to the medievalists-historians, philologists, literary critics, philosophers, historians of art and science, and theologians-whose work effectively forged contemporary academics and acknowledges a debt of gratitude for the trail they blazed in the twentieth century. An introductory essay provides a comprehensive examination of the development of historiographical perspectives on medieval studies as shaped by the subjects of the volume, contextualizing the individual chapters and offering a critical reconsideration of the manifold ways in which medievalism has been inscribed. The chapters in the book develop from interdisciplinary and transversal strategies which reflect the kind of originative work enacted by both the subjects of the volume and the scholars who write about them. The contributors include renowned international medievalists and historiographers as Martin Aurell, Paul Freedman, Natalie Fryde, Alessandro Ghisalberti, Massimo Mastrogregori, Michael McVaugh, Jean-Calude Schmitt, and Martin Thurner. A concluding essay summarizes the place of the medievalists in relation to their professional identity, to the time in which they worked, and to the national spaces that marked their scholarly production. Among the medievalists studied are the leading exponents of the influential French historical school of the Annales, Marc Bloch, Jacques Le Goff and Georges Duby; representatives from the highest philosophical tradition, including Raymond Klibansky, Albert Zimmermann, and Clemens Baeumker; economic and trade historian Roberto Sabatino Lopez; historians of political thought like Ernst Kantorowicz; exponents from the classical school of legal and institutional history such as Francois Louis Ganshof and Frederic William Maitland; pioneering cultural historian Charles Homer Haskins; historians of theology and Christian philosophy Etienne Gilson and Marie-Dominique Chenu; members of the Spanish historical and philological school that include Ramon Menendez Pidal, Rafael Lapesa, and Claudio Sanchez de Albornoz and, in Catalonia, Ferran Soldevila; and finally, from lesser known but equally fascinating fields of medieval studies like the science historian Pierre Duhem and the music historian Ugo Sesini.
