The Great Alliance: History, Reason, And Will In Modern Law, Paulo Barrozo
The Great Alliance: History, Reason, And Will In Modern Law, Paulo Barrozo
Paulo Barrozo
This article offers an interpretation of the intellectual and political origins of modern law in the nineteenth century and its consequences for contemporary legal thought. Social theoretical analyses of law and legal thought tend to emphasize rupture and change. Histories of legal thought tend to draw a picture of strife between different schools of jurisprudence. Such analyses and histories fail to account for the extent to which present legal thought is the continuation of a jurisprudential settlement that occurred in the nineteenth century. That settlement tamed the will of the masses under the influence of authoritative legal thought, conceptions of …

Por Um Law No Mundo: Fundamentos Jusfilosóficos Do Instituto Da Adoção Como Direito Humano, Paulo Barrozo

Paulo Barrozo

This essay asks these questions of Lucius Seneca, who first articulated an agent-based conception of cruelty in the context of punishment. The hypothesis is submitted that the answers to these questions offered in Seneca's De clementia constitute one of the turning points in the evolution of practical reason in law. I conclude, however, by arguing that even the mainstream punitive practices of contemporary western societies fail to meet the modest imperatives of the rejection of cruelty and the …
