In this monograph a fundamental distinction is made between law and juridical thinking. Law is the content of legal rules and the systems of legal rules. Juridical thinking is the handling of the law by the lawyers. To this distinction corresponds a basic distinction between the language of law and the language of juridical thinking, and correlatively, between L-concepts (law concepts) and J-concepts (juridical or jurisprudential concepts). The monograph is devoted to the J-concepts, especially of technical (not ideological or evaluative) J-concepts. Four kinds of J-concepts are investigated: morphological J-concepts, those that help us to structure the law in a logical and functional way; topological J-concepts, those that help us to indicate the phenomena to which the law is applicable, and to separate the areas of application for different legal systems; praxeological J-concepts, those that help us to explore the relations between law and action, and methodological J-concepts, those that help us to describe the methods of the professional-juridical handling of the law. The work can be characterised as presenting a lawyer´s philosophy of law.

Que signifie être responsable de ses actes ? Dans ce texte court et élégant, Giorgio Agamben propose une généalogie de nos croyances morales. Ce n’est pas la liberté qui fonde la responsabilité, mais une articulation entre le droit et la punition caractéristique de l’Occident. Pour comprendre ce qu’est une « cause » et pourquoi l’homme est considéré comme la cause de ses actions, il faut en revenir à la scène inaugurale du procès. Derrière la morale, on découvre la cruauté pénale. L’auteur d’Homo Sacer poursuit sa remise en cause du dispositif juridique qui enserre les vies humaines. Pour la première fois, il confronte ce dispositif à la tradition bouddhiste. De proche en proche, c’est une tout autre conception de l’action qui s’énonce dans ce livre

Pour affronter les actes criminels les plus sensibles, la justice des « experts » tend à se substituer à celle des jurys populaires. Face à cette réalité, l'auteure affirme que chacun d'entre nous est capable de construire une perspective personnelle et critique, d'aller au-delà des idées reçues, autrement dit de se hisser au niveau d'une philosophie de la justice en actes. Ces actes doivent être les trois fondements de la citoyenneté en démocratie : penser - délibérer - juger. En nous rendant accessible la pensée des grands théoriciens de la justice, de la politique et de la citoyenneté, de Platon et Aristote à Nussbaum en passant par Hume, Smith, Tocqueville, Arendt, Rawls et Sen, mais aussi en confrontant les cultures juridiques contemporaines des mondes anglophone et francophone, Sophie Klimis nous offre des éclairages nouveaux pour penser le fait juridique. À partir d'une réflexion sur le classique du cinéma 12 Hommes en colère, des témoignages de ses étudiantes et étudiants ainsi que des exemples que fournit l'actualité, elle nous propose un questionnement actif sur la justice, l'appartenance à une communauté politique et la condition même de l'humanité.

This book presents a broad overview of succession law, encompassing aspects of family law, testamentary law and legal history. It examines society and legal practice in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present from both a legal and a sociological perspective. The contributing authors investigate various aspects of succession law that have not yet been thoroughly examined by legal historians, and in doing so they not only add to our knowledge of past succession law but also provide a valuable key to interpreting and understanding current European succession law. Readers can explore such issues as the importance of a fathers permission to marry in relation to disinheritance, as well as inheritance transactions and private, dynastic and cross-border successions. Further themes addressed by the expert contributors include womens inheritance rights, the laws of succession for the prince in legal consulting, and succession in the Rota Romanas jurisprudence.

“Admirers of Machiavelli’s ideas and style will enjoy this slim and provocative book which addresses a topic dear to the Florentine secretary: the role of elites in society and politics. James Sherry adds a new twist by taking account of the work of twentieth century ‘Machiavellians’ such as Gaetano Mosca, early James Burnham, as well as the networks described by ecologists. The result is a smart and ironic view of the contemporary networks of oligarchs, in business as well as in politics and society. Readers interested in such different topics as populism, corporate business, high-level politics and the inevitable Donald Trump will find food for thought—accompanied by Machiavellian wit.”  –Giovanni Giorgini, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bologna, Italy and Princeton University, USA “500 years after Machiavelli, James Sherry offers us a modern [and wide-ranging] treatise on the oligarchs who now rule our world and how they gain and maintain power. One wonders if the pejorative “Sherryan” will be hurled at the power plays of future oligarchs.”  –Jeff Cohen, Director, Park Center for Independent Media, Ithaca College, USA This book was written from an earlier text, Machiavelli’s The Prince, to show how changes in thinking and in governance work by divergence rather than by romantic revolution or vulgar principles of evolution. The assumptions around change of form are reflected in the way the prior text relates to and diverges from the current book. This notion, derived from theoretical environmentalism and systems analysis, makes change easier to understand and requires fewer contortions than some of the received theories of political systems that pit the rulers against the people, failing to show how conflict of interest among leading cadres is the primary driver of political events. James Sherry is the author of 12 books of criticism and poetry, most recently Oops! Environmental Poetics (2013) and Entangled Bank (2016). He is the editor of Roof Books, a literary press (roofbooks.com) in New York City, USA.
