Nobreza De Espírito - Um Ideal Republicano, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Nobreza De Espírito - Um Ideal Republicano, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
República não significa massificação. Nenhuma democracia pode sobreviver sem elites. Não grupos oligárquicos, plutocráticos, ensimesmados e snobs, mas eleites demofílicas, integradas no global espírito e ambiente democrático. O livro Nobreza de Espírito, de Rob Rieman, recordando Thomas Mann e as suas posições sobre o problema, é um importante alerta, e um memorando a considerar.

Direito Ao Aborto E Direito À Vida: As Perguntas E Repostas Que Importam, Rafael Mafei Rabelo Queiroz
Rafael Mafei Rabelo Queiroz
O artigo traz uma apreciação filosófica organizada de alguns pontos centrais do debate relativo à ampliação do direito ao aborto. Ao organizar os principais argumentos sobre o tema, tendo por base trabalhos de filósofos da moral e do direito que nas últimas décadas dedicaram-se a ele, o artigo pretende não só ampliar a capacidade analítica sobre o assunto, como também refinar a capacidade de deliberação consistente a seu respeito. Nesse sentido, aproveita a todos aqueles que tenham de argumentar em torno de decisões práticas relativas ao aborto e os direitos a ele relacionados. A primeira parte do artigo cuida dos …
Thinking Like Thinkers: Is The Art And Discipline Of An "Attitude Of Suspended Conclusion" Lost On Lawyers?, Donald J. Kochan
Thinking Like Thinkers: Is The Art And Discipline Of An "Attitude Of Suspended Conclusion" Lost On Lawyers?, Donald J. Kochan
Donald J. Kochan
In his 1910 book, How We Think, John Dewey proclaimed that “the most important factor in the training of good mental habits consists in acquainting the attitude of suspended conclusion. . .” This Article explores that insight and describes its meaning and significance in the enterprise of thinking generally and its importance in law school education specifically. It posits that the law would be best served if lawyers think like thinkers and adopt an attitude of suspended conclusion in their problem solving affairs. Only when conclusion is suspended is there space for the exploration of the subject at hand. The …

Que fazer? Resistir à massificação, tecnocracia, economicismo. A existência da Filosofia do Direito é já símbolo de resistência, dir-se-ia mesmo de contra-ataque. Como ensinar, porém, para todos, esta matéria exigente e complexa? Vacinando-os com minudências e preciosismos para que nunca mais queiram pensar no assunto? Ou cativando-os sem baixar o nível?

A Theory Of The Perverse Verdict, Bethel G.A Erastus-Obilo
A Theory Of The Perverse Verdict, Bethel G.A Erastus-Obilo
Bethel G.A Erastus-Obilo
The concept of a perverse verdict is one that pervades the Criminal justice system of nearly all common law jurisdictions. The English Criminal Justice system is no exception and the concept has become institutionalised as if it were a true occurrence. This paper challenges the idea and argues that it is, technically, a legal non-event given the system of trial by jury. The theory is that besides the jury, no one else is invested with the power and authority to declare a verdict and this position is supported both by legal custom and the mechanism of the criminal justice system. …
Legal Mechanization Of Corporate Social Responsibility Through Alien Tort Statute Litigation: A Response To Professor Branson With Some Supplemental Thoughts, Donald J. Kochan
Legal Mechanization Of Corporate Social Responsibility Through Alien Tort Statute Litigation: A Response To Professor Branson With Some Supplemental Thoughts, Donald J. Kochan
Donald J. Kochan
This Response argues that as ATS jurisprudence “matures” or becomes more sophisticated, the legitimate limits of the law regress. The further expansion within the corporate defendant pool – attempting to pin liability on parent, great grandparent corporations and up to the top – raises the stakes and complexity of ATS litigation. The corporate social responsibility discussion raises three principal issues about how a moral corporation lives its life: how a corporation chooses its self-interest versus the interests of others, when and how it should help others if control decisions may harm the shareholder owners, and how far the corporation must …

A Criminal Moment In Time, Bethel G.A Erastus-Obilo
A Criminal Moment In Time, Bethel G.A Erastus-Obilo
Bethel G.A Erastus-Obilo
Criminal law jurisprudence considers the concepts of motive, intent and the forbidden act integral to the justice process. Throughout the common law jurisdictions, this trio overshadows a central theme that is a precursor to all criminal acts – the idea of a social responsibility continuum or cognitive dependency. While motive is dispositional on a wider application, intent is situational and is a product of one’s socio-cultural experience. The forbidden act, though central to the process, constitutes ‘a faithful mirror of thought’ – the consummation of a deliberate and manipulated cognition. The nexus between the three subjects extends beyond the Cartesan …

We may well wonder how the Casey Anthony reached its verdict in spite of what many of us thought was a raft of compelling evidence. In order to understand some of the nuances at play, it is important to understand some of the issues that confront a jury and how the criminal justice system ensures or attempts to ensure a fair outcome in our trial by jury system

Is Tort A Remedial Institution?, Gregory C. Keating
Is Tort A Remedial Institution?, Gregory C. Keating
Gregory C. Keating
In the past 30 years, philosophers of tort have performed invaluable work in restoring the concept of a “wrong” to prominence in tort scholarship, and in building a persuasive case that no adequate account of tort can replace the idea of a “wrong” with the idea of a “cost”. The structure of tort adjudication, which pits an injured victim against the party allegedly responsible for injuring her, is powerfully explained and justified by the thesis that the plaintiff has a claim for redress against the defendant when and because the defendant has wronged the plaintiff. The competing claim that tort …

Social Contract Theory Of John Locke (1932-1704) In The Contemporary World, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.
Social Contract Theory Of John Locke (1932-1704) In The Contemporary World, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.
Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.
The 17th century period was marked by an attempt to erect effective safeguard against violations of natural law by governments. Law in this period was conceptualized as an instrument for the prevention of autocracy and despotism. Absolutism in Europe that was associated with governmental encroachments necessitated a strong shield of individual liberty. In this period legal theory placed the main emphasis on liberty, thus the law was to render governments capable of functioning as a guarantor of individual rights. This paper aims at examining the social contract theory of the 17th-century English philosopher, John Locke, its parameters, limitations and its …
Emerging Problems In Knowledge Sharing And The Three New Ethics Of Knowledge Transfer, Mikhail Koulikov
Emerging Problems In Knowledge Sharing And The Three New Ethics Of Knowledge Transfer, Mikhail Koulikov
Mikhail Koulikov
Topics related to knowledge management and knowledge sharing have received extensive attention in the recent literature of management and information science. Much of the discussion has focused on how these processes take place - and frequently fail to take place - in formal business, corporate and organizational settings. Knowledge sharing, however, occurs along the entire spectrum of human activity. Often, information and knowledge are shared in ways that appear unregulated and even outright subversive. This paper surveys many of the recent critiques of formal mechanisms of knowledge sharing. It identifies a set of methods, structures and ethics of "informal" and …

Se o jornalismo quotidiano nos conta desgraças em cima de desgraças, e com o relato da intriga e dos ataques entre políticos nos deixa irritados ou sem esperança, o jornalismo cultural, quando não é pretexto para os mesmos sectarismos, não só nos descansa como edifica, além de instruir. No II Aniversário de "As Artes entre as Letras" editamos um pequeno texto sobre essa publicação em que regularmente colaboramos, mas de que também somos assíduo e entusiástico leitor: pelo descanso e pela formação que propicia, qual museu imaginário e biblioteca ideal em permanente reconstrução.

'Pior Não Fica', Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Normalmente, somos crítico do Presidencialismo. Mas o nosso sistema parlamentarista tem um problema também: o da qualidade dos nossos representantes. O texto ficcional proposto encena as angústias de um parlamentarista que entende a política como um clubismo, mas que mesmo assim precisa de ir digerindo as escolhas das máquinas partidárias para candidatos a deputados. Obviamente tal não pretende levar água nem ao moinho dos que pretendem reduzir o seu número, tornando o parlamento numa sensaboria bicolor, nem dos que gostariam de círculos uninominais, em que seria eleitos candidatos mediáticos ou caciques locais.

Sebastianismo E Constituição, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Começam a aparecer de novo vozes e grupos cuja essência do respectivo programa político é a defesa do presidencialismo. Além de politicamente ser uma solução sem tradição em Portugal, com manifestações sempre autoritárias e ditatoriais (mesmo na versão de "presidencialismo do "Primeiro-ministro": Salazar), é importante que se saiba que uma tal solução carece, ou de outra Constituição (= golpe de Estado), ou de uma votação no Parlamento de 2/3 dos deputados (em revisão normal, agora já fora de tempo para esta matéria), ou 4/5 (extraordinária). Sem essa maioria excepcionalmente vasta, só um golpe de Estado permitiria adoptar o Presidencialismo. A …
