KDEC 9055 - Legal Regulation in postmodern times through a Benthamian Lens — Fabrique des Maquettes Pédagogiques

Informations

Descriptif

This research seminar intends to examine what insights and perspectives can be drawn from the thought of Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) in order to understand several aspects of contemporary legal phenomena and open new and original perspectives for legal and political analysis, The major assumption is that what Bentham wrote about the nature and goals of legislation is relevant and illuminating and allows imagining new theoretical and practical perspectives. Several scholars will successively ponder over the following topics:

Can there be a moral calculus?

From Law to Indirect Legislation: Norms and Actions in Bentham's Philosophy

Law and literature, law as literature, law in literature

Post-Modern Regulation: Non-legal Normativity in "From Bentham to Biopolitics and Nudges"

Explaining the 'force' of the law: is epistemic panlegalism a safe political stance?

Conceptual transfers and circulation of legal ideas: a comparative study of Bentham's English and French Writings
