“Everything for Sale!” Contract Law in the Context of the Moral Misery of the Modern West

Author(s): Jacek Mazurkiewicz / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The article contains a critical evaluation of the moral and social function of contract law. It shows the breaking of the principle of the equality of parties. Moreover, the examples of making contracts of what belongs to the fundamental human goods are also revealed. It presents violations of the principle of trust of parties that conclude contracts as a result of state intelligence operations. The paper exposes the use of electronic manipulation, because of which a weaker party of the contract is often helpless. Attention was also paid to the development of economic and commercial sanctions, which repeatedly frustrates the principle of freedom of economic activity.

“Interest of the Individual” versus “Common Good” and “Public Interest” in the Context of Technological Progress in Medicine

Author(s): Anetta Breczko / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

The paper discusses issues tied to technological progress in the field of medicine, with respect to the categories of: “interest of the individual”, “common good” and “public interest”. The author attempts to present potential moral and legal threats that can result from the application of the latest medical technologies. The paper points out fundamental problems related to technology, medicine, law, and ethics. The analysis performed by the author shows that the technological methods for “human enhancement” can yield great benefits not only from the standpoint of individual interests of patients, but also in the context of the common good and public interest. On the other hand, the transhumanist dreams of the “bionic man” (the “perfect man”) collide with the current global situation, related to the coronavirus pandemic. The noticeable inefficiency of the healthcare system in that respect breeds doubts whether it will be possible, in the short-term perspective, to push back diseases and postpone the moment of death. It is important for the public interest to be understood properly: as the embodiment of the common good (that is, as a kind of a common denominator for the society), and not as the instrument for the fulfilment of the particular goals of the ruling majority. The development of civilization must be based on the universal, common values developed in the European culture. Technological progress in medicine should be accompanied by rational debate on its social costs and by genuine assessment or risks and threats (in the individual, social, civilizationational and cultural dimensions). Such debate is indispensable for the common good.

“THE PHILOSOPHY OF LAW FROM ENLIGHTENMENT TO THE CONTEMPORARY PERIOD” International Conference at “Dimitrie Cantemir” Christian University

Author(s): Andreea-Ileana Danielescu / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2018

Born in the Middle Age but reaching a relevant level of high interest during the time of the Enlightenment, the academic law started to be taught in universities, as an autonomous knowledge, different from the knowledge of positive laws. It was then that the European Enlightenment launched a new era in the philosophy of law, thus turning law into a science founded on human nature, following Immanuel Kant’s motto “Sapere aude! Have the courage to use your own understanding!”

„Aksjologiczne zamieszanie?”

Author(s): Andrzej M. Kaniowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 27/2015

The text is a reflection on the lustration law of 2007, which imposed an obligation of submitting lustration statements on people whose professions involved significant public responsibility. Academic professors, along with journalists, or lawyers were subject to this obligation. The article, which was in the most part written in the course of these events in 2007, is a document of moral dilemmas brought by the lustration law. By posing the general question “What should I do” in the face of such state-imposed obligation, it considers a series of opposite arguments concerning the validity of this law and the reasons to submit to it, or to reject it in an act of civil disobedience.

„Are we all feminists now”? Wyzwania ze strony Feministycznej Jurysprudencji wobec tradycyjnej teorii prawa

Author(s): Lidia Rodak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2014

The potential of Feminist Jurisprudence is mainly built on its criticism of Traditional Jurisprudence. Through the deconstruction of the latter’s main categories such as objectivity, justice, equality, and rationality, Feminist Jurisprudence aims to demonstrate that Traditional Jurisprudence tends to mask inequality, exclusion and lack of recognition rather than beingable to bring about change or provide the values under research. What is more, FJ indicates a wide range of topics that are not explored by Traditional Jurisprudence and thus have nochance to be dealt with using traditional tools. As a result, Feminist Jurisprudence provides a separate language, a different epistemology and methodological tools that can broaden access to justice including all subjects by giving them recognition. What follows from thesetwo approaches to jurisprudence and two distinct sets of epistemological assumptions is a different understanding of the subject and a different vision of social relations. As Feminist Jurisprudence convincingly shows, traditional law, with its inclination for objectivity defends legal norms as part of the legal and social order rather than an individual autonomy and integrity of subjects. In this paper I would like to suggest a middle-way solution going beyondthe dualistic categories of objectivity and subjectivity. The proposal calls for a deep structuralchange of the legal discourse as the only one that really matters from the feminist point of view.

„Húsz év” – kettétörve Somló Bódog színeváltozása

Author(s): Miklós Szabó / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2016

This study scrutinizes the career of Felix Somló, the most respectful representative of Hungarian legal philosophy, taking his journal-entries assources. The study claims that while regular approach holds that Somló’s career may be divided into two periods by 1910, which periods are in direct opposition with each other, in reality his career consists of three parts. The third period which culminates in the manuscript of Prima Philosophia proves to show the biggest break within all of his work, and the failure of his manuscript’s conception is partly responsible for the tragic end of his life.

„L’amie de la liberté”: Benjamina Constanta rozważania o wolności

Author(s): Sabina Kruszyńska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2015

The author of the article by analyzing and interpreting Constant’s texts performs detailed reconstruction of the idea of freedom included in these texts. The author shows a close connection between Constant’s idea of freedom and of ideas developed by the French thinker and politician in his work on religion. Known classifications (made by Constant) between the individual and political freedom and between freedom of the ancient and modern thereby obtain specific philosophical justification.

They are found in most modern legislations, but in recent decades, it is increasingly necessary to find the Roman law tradition in its authentic sense and some ideas for flexible application of these principles in relation to adoptions, assisted reproduction, surrogacy, etc.

ЈАСНА И НЕПОСРЕДНА ОПАСНОСТ II: ЧАС АНАТОМИЈЕ

Author(s): Boris Begović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2010

У претходном броју овог часописа објављен је текст „Прети ли јасна и непосредна опасност од новог закона о заштити конкуренције“ ауторке Дијане Марковић-Бајаловић (у даљем тексту ауторка), који представља полемички осврт на наш рад објављен у истом часопису крајем 2009. године. Полемика и размена аргумената је нешто што недостаје нашем академском животу – често се пише тек да се нешто напише, без поклањања пажње оном што су други написали, па нас је стога обрадовало сазнање да има оних који, ипак, читају наше текстове и осећају потребу да на њих реагује.3 Сматрамо, штавише, да полемика не треба да представља само непосредан одговор на примедбе друге стране, већ треба да осветли и контекст у коме су те примедбе настале. Како то постићи?

ЈЕДИНСТВО ДРЖАВЕ, ВЛАСТИ И ПРАВА У ПРАВНО-ПОЛИТИЧКОЈ ТЕОРИЈИ СЛОБОДАНА ЈОВАНОВИЋА

Author(s): Boris Z. Milosavljević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 136/2011

The paper considers Jovanović’s view of the unity of state, law and power. State emerges from the society, by collective act of creation, not by a free individuals’ contract. As the notion of law implies someone guaranteeing law implementation, i.e. coercion, law is inseparable from the state force which guarantees its mandatory feature. Without state, man would not be free because he is free only if there is state to protect him from private violence. Jovanovic emphasizes that state is force, but a well-ordained force, the only alternative of which is a disordered, chaotic force. The paper explains that understanding of the theory of state, law and power unity is essential for understanding specificities of Jovanovic’s political and legal philosophy and his criticism of the theories of natural law and social contract.

ЈЕДНА НОВИЈА ДЕБАТА О ЉУДСКОМ ДОСТОЈАНСТВУ И ПРОБЛЕМ ТРАГИЧНОГ И АПСУРДНОГ У ПРАВУ

Author(s): Duška Franeta / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2011

The author of the leading interpretation of the guarantee of human dignity in German constitution of the second half of the twentieth century was German lawyer Günter Dürig. At the core of his analysis of the concept of dignity, placed on the top of the Bonn constitution, was the equalization of dignity with the essence of human rights alongside with his statement that dignity understood as their „untouchable“ (unantastbar) substance should be ultimately and infinitely protected. The new millennium brought a more radical turn from this influential legal understanding of human dignity. Although not isolated in his venture of critique of Dürigs analysis, Matthias Herdegens new interpretation of the first article was even more distinct for its clear abandon of the basic ideas of his predecessor as well as for the fact that it actually replaced the Dürigs paradigmatic commentary. The author of this article analyses Herdegens interpretation of the concept of human dignity and compares it to the preceding but also rival Dürigs understanding.

ЈУСНАТУРАЛИЗАМ И ПРАВНИ ПОЗИТИВИЗАМ У САВРЕМЕНОЈ АМЕРИЧКОЈ ЈУРИСПРУДЕНЦИЈИ

Author(s): Sanja Đurđić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 144/2013

In contemporary American jurisprudence, there are many different legal-theoretical courses, orientations and legal schools. In this work, the author tries to analyze jusnaturalism and legal positivism. The reason for commitment for these two legal theories the author finds in the fact that they are actually modern forms of theories with a rich philosophical tradition. The paper argues that the jusnaturalism is the oldest philosophical tradition. Legal positivism was developed in opposition to jusnaturalism in the mid-19th century.The author points out that contemporary American jurisprudence marks the conflict between jusnaturalism and legal positivism. The main reason for their disagreement is the question of the relationship between law and morality. The paper analyzes the differences between the modern version of legal positivism and jusnaturalism and their classical theories. It is noticeable that the modern versions are purified and softened versions of the classic theories. The author concludes that a kind of mitigation of positivist-jusnaturalism dispute has already begun. Finally, the author allows that in the further development of contemporary American jurisprudence a significant convergence of legal positivism and jusnaturalism can reasonably be expected.

ЉУДСКА НАДА ИЗМЕЂУ УТОПИЈЕ И ДОГМЕ

Author(s): Dragan Stanimirovic / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 30/1990

L'auteur est d'avis qu'en Yougoslavie, après la deuxième guerre mondiale, on a proclamé le socialisme comme l'organisation sociale du pays. Aujourd' hui les républiques yougoslaves ne transcrivent plus les prescriptions „socialistes" dans leurs Constitutions mais elles introduisent les systèmes politiques de plusieurs parties et donnent une grande importance à la propriété privée aux dépens de la propriété d'Etat ou de la société. La proclamation officielle de l'organisation sociale comme sodiaJiste était - elle une erruer eu un doeme? La société yougoslave était-elle socialiste ou ce n'était qu'une utopie? Les idéologues yougoslaves n'ont-ils pas compris Marx ou ont-ils dépassé celui-ci? Sur toutes ces questions l'auteur donne des réponses par l'analyse de la théorie de Marx sur la révolution, le communisme et sur la dictature du proléteriat et aussi par l'analyse de l'organisation sodîale de la Yougoslavie. Il conclue que Torera™'sa'ion sociale de la Yougoslavie n'était pas socialiste que dans certains éléments. D'ailleurs ces éléments n'éta-ient ni les plus importants ni nermanentas. La conception du développement sociale de Marx n'était pas en vérité la base théorique de la société yougoslave et elle servait aux idéologues comme paravent pour les dogmes indispensables pour la conquête et la maintien du pouvoir. Ce n'est que sur plus haut degré du développement qu'il serait possible de changer la société yougoslave par la révolution.
