The Philosophy of Law
From articles centering on the detailed and doctrinal exposition of the law to those which reside almost wholly within the realm of philosophical ethics, this volume affords comprehensive treatment to both sides of the philosophico-legal equation. Systematic and sustained coverage of the many dimensions of legal thought gives ample expression to the true breadth and depth of the philosophy of law, with coverage of: The modes of knowing and the kinds of normativity used in the law; Studies in international, constitutional, criminal, administrative, persons and property, contracts and tort law-including their historical origins and worldwide ramifications; Current legal cultures such as common law and civilian, European, and Aboriginal; Influential jurisprudents and their biographies; All influential schools and methods
Beyond Human Rights
The second volume in an ongoing series of English translations of de Benoist's works is an examination of the origins of the concept of human rights in European Antiquity, in which rights were defined in terms of the individual's relationship to his community and were understood as being exclusive to that community alone.
Religious Perspectives on Human Vulnerability in Bioethics
With the advance of biomedicine, certain individuals and groups are vulnerable because of their incapacities to defend themselves. The International Bioethics Committee as a UNESCO working group has for the last several years dedicated to deepen this principle of human vulnerability and personal integrity. This book serves to supplement this effort with a religious perspective given a great number of the world’s population is affiliated with some religious traditions. While there is diversity within each of these traditions, all of them carry in them the mission to protect the weak, the underprivileged, and the poor. Thus, here presented is a collection of papers written by bioethics experts from six major world religions—Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism—who were gathered to discuss the meaning and implications of the principle of vulnerability in their respective traditions.
Maat, la Dea Della Giustizia Dell'antico Egitto
Per capire l'essenza di una civilt abbiamo bisogno di capirne l'idea di giustizia. Nell'antico Egitto, c'era una dea onnipresente che si chiamava Maat. Questa dea stata considerata dagli scienziati occidentali come la "dea della verit-giustizia," ma allo stesso tempo essi hanno ammesso di non avere capito bene il concetto di Maat che rimasto oscuro perch stato creato da gente che aveva una mentalit molto diversa dalla nostra. Ed vero che l'antico Egitto aveva una maniera di percepire il mondo all'opposto della nostra. Noi, siamo incentrati sull'aspetto materiale del mondo, mentre loro erano incentrati sull'aspetto immateriale pi importante del mondo: sulla vita. Molti testi ritrovati dimostr...

Le mémoricide
La culture est devenue pour chaque société un enjeu économique, social et politique. Toutes les questions liées au pouvoir ont d’ailleurs un lien avec la culture. Et la guerre qui frappa l’ex-Yougoslavie à la fin du siècle dernier en est un exemple éloquent. Elle a cristallisé le mémoricide comme un crime de droit international. Le mémoricide est ce crime contre la mémoire et contre la culture qui pourrait être défini comme la destruction du patrimoine culturel dans l’objectif de reconfigurer une identité collective. À l’échelle politique, l’histoire est en effet un refuge, un réservoir dans lequel les partis politiques puisent des éléments pour étayer leurs propos. Mais peut-on réellement détruire la mémoire ? Comment sanctionner si on ne se souvient de rien ? N’est-il pas dit que « le droit est mémoire et juger c’est d’abord accepter de se souvenir » ? Devant l’absence de conventions internationales ou de dispositions nationales encadrant ledit crime, le défi de cet ouvrage est de déterminer la nature juridique du mémoricide afin d’appliquer le régime juridique adéquat.
Adamantios Korais and the European Enlightenment
An iconic figure in the movement for Greek independence, Adamantios Korais (1748-1833) also played a major role in the development and transmission of Enlightenment ideals. From his early education in Amsterdam and medical studies in Montpellier, he moved to Paris where he developed distinctive ideas of political liberalism and cultural change against the backdrop of the French Revolution. In Adamantios Korais and the European Enlightenment a team of specialists explore the multiple facets of Korais' life and thought. Following a detailed examination of his formative years and pan-European education, contributors analyse his: translations and editions of the classics, through which his own early political ideas took shape views on linguistic reform and its importance for a sense of national identity liberal critique of the French Revolution and his evolving conception of political liberty In Adamantios Korais and the European Enlightenment contributors present a timely reevaluation of a major figure in the foundation of modern Greece, and provide a fresh perspective on the interaction of cultures in the European Enlightenment.
Nietzsche et les hiérarchies
La généalogie de la Morale est indispensable à Nietzsche, qui ne peut donc ignorer les Anciens. Mais ses idées dépassent la taille de l'individu ordinaire et de l'intériorité de l'homme sage, et il opte pour les Présocratiques, dans cet univers où, plus que l'homme, l'être importe. Or, chez Nietzsche, il existe une hiérarchie dans le choix des valeurs classiques et une hiérarchie des tempéraments pour affronter les horizons philosophiques. Il porte sur le monde un regard hautement hellénique.
