Judgment After Arendt
by Max DeutscherJudgment After Arendt is both the first full-length study of Hannah Arendt's The Life of the Mind and, at the same time, a philosophical work on the core concepts of thinking, willing and judging. Comprised of Thinking and Willing, her final and most sustained philosophical project, Arendt's work is framed by the 'thought-less' Adolf Eichmann whose 'banality' of mind in committing evil she observed at his trial in Jerusalem. Arendt's project, cut short by her death, was to have included Judgment. Without judgment, she argued, a life of thought and of will can still collude with evil. In analysing Arendt's work Deutscher develops this theme of judgment and shows how, by drawing upon literature, history, myth and idiom, Arendt contributes significantly to contemporary philosophy.

Judgment and Agency
by Ernest SosaErnest Sosa extends his distinctive approach to epistemology, intertwining issues concerning the role of the will in judgment and belief with issues of epistemic evaluation. Questions about skepticism and the nature of knowledge are at the forefront. The answers defended are new in their explicit and sustained focus on judgment and epistemic agency. While noting that human knowledge trades on distinctive psychological capacities, Sosa also emphasizes the role of the social in human knowledge. Basic animal knowledge is supplemented by a level of reflective knowledge focused on judgment, and a level of 'knowing full well' that is distinctive of the animal that is rational.

Judgment and Sachverhalt: An Introduction to Adolf Reinach’s Phenomenological Realism (Phaenomenologica #132)
by J.M. DuboisAdolf Reinach was one of the leading figures of the Munich and Göttingen circles of phenomenology, and Husserl's first real co-worker. Although his writings are highly original and remarkably clear, Reinach's tragic death in the First World War prevented him from formulating a definitive statement of his phenomenology, leaving his name virtually unknown to all but a small circle. In his ground-breaking study, Judgment and Sachverhalt, DuBois shows how Reinach succeeds in developing a realist ontology and epistemology based on rigorous argumentation and phenomenological elucidation. Drawing from numerous texts and the developments of Reinach's students and colleagues - Roman Ingarden, Alexander Pfänder and Dietrich von Hildebrand above all - DuBois presents, refines and defends Reinach's `phenomenological realism'. Confrontations of Reinach's theories of states of affairs, concepts and speech acts with the work of contemporary authors like Chisholm and Searle allow readers to evaluate Reinach's philosophy, not only in the light of the later developments of Husserl, but also in the light of certain Anglo-American developments.
Judgments of Love in Criminal Justice
by Farhad MalekianThis volume is a new chapter in the future history of law. Its general perspective could not be more original and its critical ethical edge on the state of international law could not be timelier. It explores a compassionate philosophical approach to the genuine substance of law, criminal procedure, international criminal law and international criminal justice. It divides law into three interrelated disciplines, i.e. legality, morality and love. The norm love is derived from human reason for man’s advancement and the securing of natural law. It is more than a mere mandatory norm. Its goal is to generate a normative and positive, powerful result, therefore avoiding any impurity that may exist in the application of other norms because of political or juridical pressures - a one-eyed justice. The norm love also renders justice with the principles of legal accountability, transparency and the high moral, authentic values of humanity. The notion of justice cannot be trusted in the absence of the norm love. The volume indicates the conditions of its efficiency by proving the reasons for its existence in the context of fairness, objectivity and concern for all individuals and entities. The concept of the norm love should be the core academic corpus for lecturing law in all faculties of law. It is simply the enlightenment of the 21st century.A lawyer with requisite knowledge and skill is not a lawyer if he cannot understand that the law does not need a lawyer with ethical competence in its provisions for income purposes but one with knowledge of its essence for the advanced morality of justice and the sheer essence of love for justice.
Judicial Applications of Artificial Intelligence
by Giovanni SartorThe judiciary is in the early stages of a transformation in which AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology will help to make the judicial process faster, cheaper, and more predictable without compromising the integrity of judges' discretionary reasoning. Judicial decision-making is an area of daunting complexity, where highly sophisticated legal expertise merges with cognitive and emotional competence. How can AI contribute to a process that encompasses such a wide range of knowledge, judgment, and experience? Rather than aiming at the impossible dream (or nightmare) of building an automatic judge, AI research has had two more practical goals: producing tools to support judicial activities, including programs for intelligent document assembly, case retrieval, and support for discretionary decision-making; and developing new analytical tools for understanding and modeling the judicial process, such as case-based reasoning and formal models of dialectics, argumentation, and negotiation. Judges, squeezed between tightening budgets and increasing demands for justice, are desperately trying to maintain the quality of their decision-making process while coping with time and resource limitations. Flexible AI tools for decision support may promote uniformity and efficiency in judicial practice, while supporting rational judicial discretion. Similarly, AI may promote flexibility, efficiency and accuracy in other judicial tasks, such as drafting various judicial documents. The contributions in this volume exemplify some of the directions that the AI transformation of the judiciary will take.
Judicial Deviation In Talmudic Law
by Hanina Ben-MenachemFirst Published in 1990. With the publication of this book, the author inaugurates a new series at the Institute of Jewish Law. In recent years there has been a growing interest in Jewish law in American law schools. In turn, this casts an obligation on those involved in Jewish law to make available in the English language publications which focus on contemporary issues and their analysis in traditional Jewish sources. Jewish Law in Context will attempt to do precisely this by presenting Jewish law in its own context as well as in the context of our milieu. This is Volume I.

Judicial Review of Legislation: A Comparative Study of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and South Africa (Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice #5)
by Gerhard van der SchyffConstitutionalism is the permanent quest to control state power, of which the judicial review of legislation is a prime example. Although the judicial review of legislation is increasingly common in modern societies, it is not a finished project. This device still raises questions as to whether judicial review is justified, and how it may be structured. Yet, judicial review’s justification and its scope are seldom addressed in the same study, thereby making for an inconvenient divorce of these two related avenues of study. To narrow the divide, the object of this work is quite straightforward. Namely, is the idea of judicial review defensible, and what influences its design and scope? This book addresses these matters by comparing the judicial review of legislation in the United Kingdom (the Human Rights Act of 1998), the Netherlands (the Halsema Proposal of 2002) and the Constitution of South Africa of 1996. These systems present valuable material to study the issues raised by judicial review. The Netherlands is of particular interest as its Constitution still prohibits the constitutional review of acts of parliament, while allowing treaty review of such acts. The Halsema Proposal wants to even out this difference by allowing the courts also to apply constitutional norms to legislation and not only to international norms. The Human Rights Act and the South African Constitution also present interesting questions that will make their study worthwhile. One can think of the issue of dialogue between the legislature and the judiciary. This topic enjoys increased attention in the United Kingdom but is somewhat underexplored in South African thought on judicial review. These and similar issues are studied in each of the three systems, to not only gain a better understanding of the systems as such, but also of judicial review in general.
Judith Butler and Political Theory: Troubling Politics
by Samuel A Chambers Terrell CarverOver the past twenty-five years the work of Judith Butler has had an extraordinary impact on numerous disciplines and interdisciplinary projects across the humanities and social sciences. This original study is the first to take a thematic approach to Butler as a political thinker. Starting with an explanation of her terms of analysis, Judith Butler and Political Theory develops Butler’s theory of the political through an exploration of her politics of troubling given categories and approaches. By developing concepts such as normative violence and subversion and by elaborating her critique of heteronormativity, this book moves deftly between Butler’s earliest and most famous writings on gender and her more recent interventions in post-9/11 politics. This book, along with its companion volume, Judith Butler's Precarious Politics, marks an intellectual event for political theory, with major implications for feminism, women’s studies, gender studies, cultural studies, lesbian and gay studies, queer theory and anyone with a critical interest in contemporary American ‘great power’ politics.

Judith Butler and Subjectivity: The Possibilities and Limits of the Human
by Parisa ShamsThis book contextualises philosophy by bringing Judith Butler’s critique of identity into dialogue with an analysis of the transgressive self in dramatic literature. The author draws on Butler’s reflections on human agency and subjectivity to offer a fresh perspective for understanding the political and ethical stakes of identity as formed within a complex web of relations with human and non-human others. The book first positions a detailed analysis of Butler’s theory of subject formation within a broader framework of feminist philosophy and then incorporates examples and case studies from dramatic literature to argue that the subject is formed in relation to external forces, yet within its formation lies a space for transgressing the same environments and relations that condition the subject’s existence. By virtue of a fundamental dependency on conditions and relations that bring human beings into existence, they emerge as political and ethical agents capable of resisting the formative forces of power and responding – ethically – to the call of others.
Judith Butler: Pädagogische Lektüren
by Norbert Ricken Nicole BalzerWie kaum eine andere Philosophin provoziert Judith Butler gegenwärtig die Diskussion zentraler Kategorien wie Körper, Identität und Anerkennung, indem sie verbreitete und nicht selten festgefahrene Denkgewohnheiten irritiert und dekonstruiert. Die Beiträge des Bandes suchen daher eine Lücke zu schließen, indem sie auch an die Arbeiten Judith Butlers zu Ethik, Politik und Anerkennung anknüpfen und die dort entwickelten Zusammenhänge von Körper, Subjekt, Macht und Performativität in den Blick nehmen und sowohl für die theoretische Grundlagenreflexion als auch für die empirische Erforschung von Erziehungs- und Bildungsprozessen zu nutzen suchen.
Judith Butler, Race and Education
by Charlotte ChaddertonThis book provides an analysis of race and education through the lens of the work of Judith Butler. Although Butler tends to be best known in the field of education for her work on gender and sexuality, her work more broadly encompasses the functioning of power and hegemonic norms and the formation of subjects, and thus can also be applied to analyse issues of race. Applying a Butlerian framework to race allows us to question its ontological status, while considering it a hegemonic norm and a performative notion which has a significant impact on real lives. The author considers the implications of Butler’s thinking for debates; addressing diverse contemporary educational issues in which race continues to be (re)produced, such as the formation of leaner identities, the production of the good citizen, raising student aspirations, counter terrorism and surveillance in education, and qualitative research in education. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of education andrace, the sociology of education and equality of opportunity.

Judith Butler's Precarious Politics: Critical Encounters
by Terrell Carver Samuel A. ChambersJudith Butler has been arguably the most important gender theorist of the past twenty years. This edited volume draws leading international political theorists into dialogue with her political theory. Each chapter is written by an acclaimed political theorist and concentrates on a particular aspect of Butler's work. The book is divided into five sections which reflect the interdisciplinary nature of Butler's work and activism: Butler and Philosophy: explores Butler’s unique relationship to the discipline of philosophy, considering her work in light of its philosophical contributions Butler and Subjectivity: covers the vexed question of subjectivity with which Butler has engaged throughout her published history Butler and Gender: considers the most problematic area, gender, taken by many to be primary to Butler’s work Butler and Democracy: engages with Butler’s significant contribution to the literature of radical democracy and to the central political issues faced by our post-cold war Butler and Action: focuses directly on the question of political agency and political action in Butler’s work. Along with its companion volume, Judith Butler and Political Theory, it marks an intellectual event for political theory, with major implications for feminism, women’s studies, gender studies, cultural studies, lesbian and gay studies, queer theory and anyone with a critical interest in contemporary American ‘great power’ politics.

Judith Shklar and the liberalism of fear
by Allyn FivesThis book puts forward a novel interpretation of Judith Shklar’s liberalism of fear. Shklar’s work is usually seen as an important influence for those who take a sceptical approach to political thought and are concerned first and foremost with the avoidance of great evils. In fact, as this book shows, the most important factor shaping her mature work is not her scepticism but rather a value monist approach to both moral conflict and freedom, which represents a radical departure from the value pluralism (and scepticism) of her early work. The book also advances a clear line of argument in defence of value pluralism in political theory, one that builds on but moves beyond Shklar’s own early work.

by Heinz ReindersJugendliche sind vielfach gemeinnützig engagiert, ohne dass dies in der breiten Öffentlichkeit wahrgenommen wird. Der Band berichtet über die Ergebnisse einer für Deutschland bislang einzigartigen Längsschnittstudie, die dieses zahlreiche und vielfältige Engagement der jungen Generation aufzeigt. Es wird erklärt und empirisch geprüft, welche positiven Wirkungen diese gemeinnützigen Tätigkeiten auf die Persönlichkeits- und politische Entwicklung Jugendlicher haben. Mit seinen klaren theoretischen Aussagen und vielfältigen Ergebnissen zum Engagement im Jugendalter richtet es sich sowohl an Wissenschaftler und Studierende als auch in der Praxis Tätige.
Jugend, Familie und Generationen im Wandel: Erziehungswissenschaftliche Facetten
by Thorsten Fuchs Anja Schierbaum Alena BergJugend, Familie und Generationen sind durch einen fortschreitenden sozialen Wandel in allen Lebensbereichen charakterisiert. Eine Gesamtgestalt der vielgestaltigen Entwicklungen herauszuarbeiten, scheint kaum noch möglich. Im Zentrum des vorliegenden Bands steht daher die Erarbeitung von erziehungswissenschaftlichen Facetten. Die beteiligten Autorinnen und Autoren nehmen sich mit theoretisch-konzeptionellen Überlegungen und aktuellen Forschungsprojekten den Veränderungen (spät-)moderner Jugendwelten mitsamt den hierdurch hervortretenden wissenschaftlichen Herausforderungen an, diskutieren unterschiedliche Teilaspekte der Jugendforschung, reflektieren Konturen der Familienerziehung und setzen Stichworte um Generationenbeziehungen und -verhältnisse auf die Agenda. Die zusammengetragenen Befunde gleichen dabei dem Sehen mit einem Facettenauge, das – bestehend aus zahlreichen einzelnen Linsen – bei gleichbleibender Größe ein erstaunliches Gesamtbild zum Wandel von Jugend, Familie und Generationen liefert.

Zunächst wird ein breiter theoretischer Überblick in klassische und neuere Ansätze und Strömungen zum Identitätsbegriff gegeben. Innovativ ist hierbei, den Identitätsbegriff grundlagentheoretisch konsequent auf den Kontext Schule anzuwenden. Darüber hinaus gibt der Band über eine Vielzahl schulischer Handlungs- und Forschungsfelder hinweg einen breiten Einblick in den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zum Zusammenhang von Jugend, Schule und Identität.
Jugend zwischen Familie und Schule: Eine Studie zu pädagogischen Generationsbeziehungen (Studien zur Schul- und Bildungsforschung)
by Werner Helsper Rolf-Torsten Kramer Merle Hummrich Susann BusseDie pädagogische Erzeugung der 'jüngeren Generation' findet an zwei zentralen Orten statt: der Familie und der Schule. Jugendliche begegnen der 'älteren Generation' damit in der doppelten Gestalt von Eltern und Lehrern. Wie Jugendliche diese doppelte Situierung gegenüber der 'älteren Generation' erfahren, welche Passungen zwischen Schule und Familie bestehen, wie das Zusammenspiel von Schule und Familie die jugendlichen Bildungs- und Individuationsprozesse fördert oder erschwert, wird in kontrastreichen Fallstudien entfaltet. Auf dieser Grundlage werden die weit ausgreifenden Thesen einer grundlegenden Veränderung der Generationsbeziehungen empirisch ausdifferenziert. Im Anschluss an die Fallstudien zu Jugendlichen zwischen Schule und Familie wird eine Theorie pädagogischer Generationsbeziehungen und einer Ordnung der Generationen entworfen.
Jugendinformationsarbeit: Ein bildungssoziologischer Beitrag zu einem sozialpädagogischen Handlungsfeld
by Martin AuferbauerMartin Auferbauer untersucht das Angebot der Jugendinformationsarbeit und begründet diesen Teilbereich der Jugendarbeit aus soziologischer und pädagogischer Perspektive. Gleichwohl sie institutionell in Europa gut ausgebaut ist, gibt es für die Jugendinformation bislang kaum Beschreibungen des Handlungsfelds und keine empirisch abgesicherte Festlegung ihrer Ausrichtung. Neben einem Vorschlag zur Differenzierung der bestehenden Angebote leitet der Autor Handlungsempfehlungen für die Gestaltung von Jugendinformationsarbeit in verschiedenen Kontexten ab.
