This thought-provoking book explores the multifaceted phenomenon of
objectivity and its relations to various aspects of the law and
practical reasoning. Featuring contributions from an international
group of researchers from differing legal contexts, it addresses
topics relevant not only from a theoretical point of view but also
themes directly connected with legal and judicial practice.
Beginning with an introduction from the editors proposing a new
account of the meaning of objectivity, the book is then divided
into three broad themes illuminated by this account. Chapters first
address a range of problems linked to the relationship between
objectivity and jurisprudence, before turning in the second part to
an analysis of the functions of objectivity in legal
interpretation. The final part then deals with the function of
objectivity in practical reasoning. Offering a spectrum of
scholarly insights within a coherent intellectual framework, this
book will be a crucial read for scholars and graduate students of
legal philosophy and legal theory. Its discussion of objectivity as
it relates to legal practice and practical reasoning will also be
of interest to practitioners such as judges, arbitrators and
lawyers.
There is a long-standing debate over the relation of historical
linguistics and classical philology, especially within the purview
of the renewed interest in it during the last decades and the
recent trends that characterize philological and linguistic
studies. Ever since its appearance in the nineteenth century, the
history of this debate testifies to a turbulent coexistence and
fertile collaboration of the two disciplines, but at times also
moving along centrifugal paths. The essays in this volume address
this debate and cover various aspects of linguistic and
philological research of Greek and Latin, moving in the middle
ground where language, linguistics and philology crosscut and
cross-fertilize each other highlighting the application of
linguistic theory to the study of classical texts and drawing on
fields such as syntactic theory and pragmatics, historical
semantics and the lexicon, reconstruction and etymology,
dialectology, editorial practices, the use of corpora, and other
interdisciplinary approaches that function as hinges between
philology and linguistics.
