Book Synopsis Law, Ideology and Punishment by : A.W. Norrie

Download or read book Law, Ideology and Punishment written by A.W. Norrie. This book was released on 2012-12-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about 'Kantianism' in both a narrow and a broad sense. In the former, it is about the tracing of the development of the retributive philosophy of punishment into and beyond its classical phase in the work of a number of philosophers, one of the most prominent of whom is Kant. In the latter, it is an exploration of the many instantiations of the 'Kantian' ideas of individual guilt, responsibility and justice within the substantive criminal law . On their face, such discussions may owe more or less explicitly to Kant, but, in their basic intellectual structure, they share a recognisably common commitment to certain ideas emerging from the liberal Enlightenment and embodied within a theory of criminal justice and punishment which is in this broader sense 'Kantian'. The work has its roots in the emergence in the 1970s and early 1980s in the United States and Britain of the 'justice model' of penal reform, a development that was as interesting in terms of the sociology of philosophical knowledge as it was in its own right. Only a few years earlier, I had been taught in undergraduate criminology (which appeared at the time to be the only discipline to have anything interesting to say about crime and punishment) that 'classical criminology' (that is, Beccaria and the other Enlightenment reformers, who had been colonised as a 'school' within criminology) had died a major death in the 19th century, from which there was no hope of resuscitation.

Book Synopsis Cultural Software by : J. M. Balkin

Download or read book Cultural Software written by J. M. Balkin. This book was released on 1998-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book J. M. Balkin offers a strikingly original theory of cultural evolution, a theory that explains shared understandings, disagreement, and diversity within cultures. Drawing on many fields of study--including anthropology, evolutionary theory, cognitive science, linguistics, sociology, political theory, philosophy, social psychology, and law--the author explores how cultures grow and spread, how shared understandings arise, and how people of different cultures can understand and evaluate each other's views. Cultural evolution occurs through the transmission of cultural information and know-how--cultural software--in human minds, Balkin says. Individuals embody cultural software and spread it to others through communication and social learning. Ideology, the author contends, is neither a special nor a pathological form of thought but an ordinary product of the evolution of cultural software. Because cultural understanding is a patchwork of older imperfect tools that are continually adapted to solve new problems, human understanding is partly adequate and partly inadequate to the pursuit of justice. Balkin presents numerous examples that illuminate the sources of ideological effects and their contributions to injustice. He also enters the current debate over multiculturalism, applying his theory to problems of mutual understanding between people who hold different worldviews. He argues that cultural understanding presupposes transcendent ideals and shows how both ideological analysis of others and ideological self-criticism are possible.

Book Synopsis Law: the Essence by : Mahir Muharemovic

Download or read book Law: the Essence written by Mahir Muharemovic. This book was released on 2018-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brief book the author shows, using actual knowledge from socio-psychology, biology and cognitive science, thus freed of any preconceived ideology, the very essence of Law, regardless of time, space and culture it exists. Social norms are the fundamentals for Law development. Their role is to adjust behaviour of group members in their mutual interactions so that behaviour becomes regular and predictable. Law is the leading ideology of the modern State with the purpose to become the dominant normative order in society. In its essence, Law has never been more than an idea whose application, if at all, in real life, primary depends of the potential of the State to "infect" its recipients with this idea, or at least the majority of its recipients. In simple terms, Law is little more than a form of psychology--it is a symbolic expression for the fact that the human mind responds in certain ways to various forms of social pressure. Law as an idea, is not self-executing. It needs interpretation and application by its recipients (humans). In this process the recipients who have the final authority to decide what Law is are in reality the law-makers.
