The Theory of Forms Without Substance a Romanian Legal Transplant Theory Ahead of its Time
2020
Abstract Comparative law and legal history show us that law is dynamic, always in continuous development, change, or mutation. This dynamic dimension has become a central concern for the comparative law scholars. The circulation of legal models in the world (e.g. legal transplant, legal transfer, legal borrowing, legal migration) is an evergreen issue. This phenomenon has provoked numerous doctrinal disputes, which have been encapsulated in complex theories on its possibilities and impossibilities. In the present article, we will not explore the many modern theories regarding legal transplantation (or under other metaphors). Instead, we will go back in time, in the second half of the ninete…
“Not in Possession of Any Weltanschauung”: Otto Neugebauer’s Flight from Nazi Germany and His Search for Objectivity in Mathematics, in Reviewing, an…
2016
Two major factors have to be considered to account for Neugebauer’s “Weltanschauung”, in particular his apparent or real rejection of philosophical or political judgments. On the one hand, Neugebauer, as a mathematician and a historian, had to cope, with the double character of mathematics as a science in its continuity and universality, independent of time, and of mathematics as a characteristic and fundamental product of each individual culture. On the other hand emphasis has to be put on Neugebauer being torn between organizational work (institution building, reviewing, editing) and historical research. One has to consider the vicissitudes of Neugebauer’s long and eventful life, which wa…

Alexandre Brierre de Boismont and the limits of the psychopathological gaze
2018
One of the most remarkable implications of psychological medicine in the transition from the 18th to the 19th century was the advent of a new way of looking at the human being and new tools for analysing not only behaviour and individual experience, but also historical events, collective behavioural patterns or complex cultural achievements. Unsurprisingly, the deployment of this gaze could not advance without there being a series of disputes and controversies about its reach and the limits to its indiscriminate application. Focusing on the figure of French alienist Alexandre Brierre de Boismont and on the controversial cases of hallucinations and suicide, this article addresses the confli…
Retour sur trois actes de Philippe Ier, roi de France
2000
Bei einer Sichtung der Altbestände der A.D. de la Marne trat das Original einer Königsurkunde von 1065 wieder zutage. Es handelt sich um ein Dokument, das Philipp I. zugunsten des Klosters Toussaints-en-1'Isle ausstellen ließ. Maurice Prou hatte in seiner Edition der Urkunden dieses französischen Königs (1908) das Original für verloren gegeben und den Text anhand von Kopien ediert (n° 20). Eine Analyse der äußerlichen und der textuellen Eigenheiten der Urkunde bestätigt verschiedene Annahmen von Prou, insbesondere die Zuweisung zur königlichen Kanzlei. Im Fall einer weiteren, von Prou edierten Urkunde (n° 6), die der König 1060 zugunsten des Klosters Marmoutier signierte, liegt eine Paralle…
Voltaire et la justice d'Ancien Régime : la médiatisation d'une imposture intellectuelle
2010
Voltaire passe aujourd’hui pour un heros du progres judiciaire. Il doit cette reputation a des affaires exceptionnelles, rencontrees au soir de sa vie, ou il a su deployer avec succes son genie de la communication. A cette occasion, il a presente un tableau inexact de la justice penale de son temps. La posterite a, le plus souvent, recopie et repete aveuglement les critiques du philosophe sans en verifier la veracite, faisant ainsi passer l’arbre pour la foret et nourrissant une legende noire encore trop vivace.
