  • Author : Professor Francis J Mootz III
  • Publisher : Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
  • Release : 2013-07-28
  • ISBN : 1409481921

Download or read book Law Hermeneutics and Rhetoric written by Professor Francis J Mootz III and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-28 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mootz offers an antidote to the fragmentation of contemporary legal theory with a collection of essays arguing that legal practice is a hermeneutical and rhetorical event that can best be understood and theorized in those terms. This is not a modern insight that wipes away centuries of dogmatic confusion; rather, Mootz draws on insights as old as the Western tradition itself. However, the essays are not antiquarian or merely descriptive, because hermeneutical and rhetorical philosophy have undergone important changes over the millennia. To "return" to hermeneutics and rhetoric as touchstones for law is to embrace dynamic traditions that provide the resources for theorists who seek to foster persuasion and understanding as an antidote to the emerging global order and the trend toward bureaucratization in accordance with expert administration, violent suppression, or both.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal and Political Hermeneutics, or Principles of Interpretation and Construction in Law and Politics: With Remarks on Precedents and Authorities The second edition of the Hermeneutics was published in 1839, and has now been out of print for almost forty years. In 1860 Dr. Lieber carefully revised it, and made additions to both text and notes, expecting to pub lish a third edition, with a second part, of Special Hermeneutics, or Legal Rules of Interpretation and Construction, by an eminent member of the New York Bar, Mr. William Curtis Noyes. This plan, however, was not carried out, and Mr. Noyes died December 25, 1863, without hav ing written his proposed part. The text of the present edition, and Dr. Lieber's own notes, have been printed with the utmost exactness from the copy then prepared by him. The notes of the present editor will be readily distinguished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Interpreting Law and Literature

    Book Details:
  • Author : Sanford Levinson
  • Publisher : Northwestern University Press
  • Release : 1988
  • ISBN : 9780810107939
  • Pages : 524 pages

Download or read book Interpreting Law and Literature written by Sanford Levinson and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface: "Contemporary theory has usefully analyzed how alternative modes of interpretation produce different meanings, how reading itself is constituted by the variable perspectives of readers, and how these perspectives are in turn defined by prejudices, ideologies, interests, and so forth. Some theorists gave argued persuasively that textual meaning, in literature and in literary interpretation, is structured by repression and forgetting, by what the literary or critical text does not say as much as by what it does. All these claims are directly relevant to legal hermeneutics, and thus it is no surprise that legal theorists have recently been turning to literary theory for potential insight into the interpretation of law. This collection of essays is designed to represent the especially rich interactive that has taken place between legal and literary hermeneutics during the past ten years."

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1839 edition. Excerpt: ... Ambiguity of Human Speech.--Processes of Formation of Words.--Necessity of always leaving much to be understood by Interpretation.--Not to be avoided by Specification and Amplification.--Causes of Ambiguity in the Language, the Utterer, the Change of Circumstances.--Desire of avoiding different Interpretation.--Prohibition of Commentaries.--Napoleon's View.--Interpretation cannot be dispensed with.--Civil Liberty demands Independence of the Judiciary, of the Law.--Correct Interpretation more necessary in free Countries than in States not free. I. If Interpretation is the discovery of the true sense of words, it is presumed that this sense is not obvious; for, that which must be discovered or found out, must needs be hidden in some way or other before it is discovered. Yet words signify ideas or things, and how does it happen, that, if used for the very purpose of conveying our ideas, they can leave any doubt? The ambiguity of human speech is owing to a vast variety of causes, at times intentional, at others unintentional, avoidable or unavoidable, owing to the ulterer, to the words or the situation of things and their changes. The most common or most important causes will be given here, and it is necessary to weigh them well, since many errors in the highest spheres of politics and law have arisen from an insufficient consideration of these causes, and a consequent belief, which still manifests itself not unfrequently in many, that ambiguity can be entirely avoided, or that certain instruments of the gravest import do not contain any, and, consequently do not require interpretation. ii. In no case are words, originally, produced in a finished state by the reflecting intellect, and consciously affixed to objects, presenting themselves to...

Book Hermeneutics  A Very Short Introduction

Download or read book Hermeneutics A Very Short Introduction written by Jens Zimmermann and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermeneutics is the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, a behaviour that is intrinsic to our daily lives. As humans, we decipher the meaning of newspaper articles, books, legal matters, religious texts, political speeches, emails, and even dinner conversations every day . But how is knowledge mediated through these forms? What constitutes the process of interpretation? And how do we draw meaning from the world around us so that we might understand our position in it? In this Very Short Introduction Jens Zimmermann traces the history of hermeneutic theory, setting out its key elements, and demonstrating how they can be applied to a broad range of disciplines: theology; literature; law; and natural and social sciences. Demonstrating the longstanding and wide-ranging necessity of interpretation, Zimmermann reveals its significance in our current social and political landscape. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Book Hermeneutics as a General Methodology of the Sciences of the Spirit

Download or read book Hermeneutics as a General Methodology of the Sciences of the Spirit written by Emilio Betti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a Foreword by Lars Vinx, this book is the first complete English translation of the Italian jurist, Emilio Betti’s classic work Die Hermeneutik als allgemeine Methodik der Geisteswissenschaften, originally published in 1962. Betti’s hermeneutical theory is presented here as a ‘general methodology of the sciences of the spirit’, such as to allow the achievement of objectivity, however relative it might be. Its central focus is the tension between an object, to be considered in its autonomy, and the subjectivity of the interpreter, who can understand the object only by means of his or her own categories, historical-cultural conditions, and interests. Set against the work of Bultmann and Gadamer, Betti is concerned to limit the arbitrariness of subjectivity without diminishing the place of interpretation. Detailing the principles that govern, and therefore, guide any interpretation, Betti traces how interpretation in art and in literature, as well as in the fields of science, jurisprudence, sociology, and economy, can be said to be objective, albeit only ever in a relative sense. This summa of Betti’s key contribution to hermeneutic theory will be of interest across a range of disciplines, including legal and literary theory, philosophy, as well as the history and sociology of law.

Book Hermeneutics as Critique

    Book Details:
  • Author : Lorenzo C. Simpson
  • Publisher : Columbia University Press
  • Release : 2021-03-02
  • ISBN : 0231551851
  • Pages : 311 pages

Download or read book Hermeneutics as Critique written by Lorenzo C. Simpson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermeneutics has frequently been dismissed as useful only for literary and textual analysis. Some consider it to be Eurocentric or inherently relativistic and thus unsuited to social critique. Lorenzo C. Simpson offers a persuasive and powerful argument that hermeneutics is a valuable tool not only for critical theory but also for robustly addressing many of the urgent issues of today. Simpson demonstrates that hermeneutics exhibits significant interpretive advantages compared to competing explanatory modalities. While it shares with pragmatism a suspicion of essentialism, an understanding that disagreements are situated, and an insistence on the dialogical nature of understanding, it nevertheless resolutely rejects the relativistic accounts of rationality that are often associated with pragmatism. In the tradition of Gadamer, Simpson firmly establishes hermeneutics as a resource for both philosophy and the social sciences. He shows its utility for unpacking intractable issues in the philosophy of science, multiculturalism, social epistemology, and racial and social justice in the global arena. Simpson addresses fraught questions such as why recent claims that “race” has a biological basis lack grounding, whether female genital excision can be critically addressed without invidious ethnocentrism, and how to lay the foundations for meaningful cross-cultural dialogue and reparative justice. This book reveals how hermeneutics can be a worthy partner with critical theory in achieving emancipatory aims.
