Abstract

This monograph is a new interpretation of Kant’s àtemporal conception of the causality of the freedom of the will. The interpretation is based on an analysis of Kant’s primary conception of an action, viz., as a causal consequence of the will. The analysis in turn is based on H. P. Grice’s causal theory of perception and on P. F. Strawson’s modification of the theory. The monograph rejects the customary assumption that Kant’s maxim of an action is a causal determination of the action. It assumes instead that the maxim is definitive of the action, and since its main thesis is that an action for Kant is to be primarily understood as an effect of the will, it concludes that the maxim of an action can only be its logical determination. Kant’s àtemporal conception of the causality of free will is confronted not only by contemporary philosophical conceptions of causality, but by Kant’s own complementary theory of causality, in the Second Analogy of Experience. According to this latter conception, causality is a natural relation among physical and psychological objects, and is therefore a temporal relation among them. Faced with this conflict, Kant scholars like Allen W. Wood either reject Kant’s àtemporal conception of causality or like Henry E. Allison accept it, but only in an anodyne form. Both camps, however, make the aforementioned assumption that Kant’s maxim of an action is a causal determination of the action. The monograph, rejecting the assumption, belongs to neither camp.

Abstract

La loi du 4 août 1996 relative au bien-être des travailleurs lors de l’exécution de leur contrat de travail a vingt ans. Cet anniversaire est l’occasion de se pencher sur cette législation souvent oubliée par la doctrine. En effet, si la réglementation relative au harcèlement a fait l’objet de nombreux examens, le reste de la loi du 4 août 1996 semble être largement ignoré par les juristes. Cette réglementation qui touche au cœur même de la protection du travailleur, a néanmoins connu un regain d’intérêt ces dernières années, sous l’impulsion de l’Union européenne. Le présent ouvrage vient donc à point nommé ; il vise à analyser les principes généraux de la politique de bien-être, son champ d’application et ses organes tout en abordant les responsabilités de l’employeur et du travailleur. Deux sujets spécifiques sont également abordés : d’une part, la surveillance de la santé des travailleurs avec la problématique de la force majeure médicale et, d’autre part, les questions liées à la charge psychosociale au travail. Pour ce dernier sujet, après une contribution sur la protection contre le licenciement du travailleur ayant déposé plainte pour harcèlement, l’ouvrage propose un éclairage différent par la présentation de points de vue de praticiens confrontés à l’application des textes dans leur quotidien

Abstract

Robert Leigh offers a critical edition with translation into English, commentary and introduction of the pharmacological treatise On Theriac to Piso traditionally attributed to Galen. The focus of the work is on the question of authorship and Leigh seeks to show on textual, pharmacological, doctrinal and historical grounds that the attribution to Galen is at least highly problematic and probably mistaken. As well as marshalling the arguments in the introduction, Leigh seeks in the commentary not only to give a general exegesis of the text but also to identify points of agreement and points of difference between the treatise and other works which are undisputedly in the genuine Galenic corpus.

Abstract

[2nd ed.] The European Union has existed for over half a century. Having started as the 'Europe of the Six' in a specific industrial sector, the Union today has twenty-seven Member States and acts within almost all areas of social life. The Union's constitutional structures have evolved in parallel with this immense growth. Born as an international organisation, the Union has developed into a constitutional Union of States. This textbook analyses the constitutional law of the European Union after Lisbon in a clear and structured way. Examining the EU through a classic constitutional perspective, it explores all the central themes of the course: from the history and structure of the Union, the powers and procedures of its branches of government, to the rights and remedies of European citizens. A clear three-part structure and numerous illustrations will facilitate understanding. Critical and comprehensive, this is required reading for all students of European constitutional law.

Abstract

In Shakespeare on Theatre, master acting teacher Robert Cohen brilliantly scrutinises Shakespeare's implicit theories of acting, paying close attention to the plays themselves and providing a wealth of fascinating historical evidence.What he finds will surprise scholars and actors alike – that Shakespeare's drama and his practice as an actor were founded on realism, though one clearly distinct from the realism later found in Stanislavski.Shakespeare on Acting is an extraordinary introduction to the way the plays articulate a profound understanding of performance and reflect the life and times of a uniquely talented theatre-maker.

Abstract

This book seeks to analyse various aspects of international law, the link being how they structure and marshal the different forces in the international legal order. It takes the following approaches to the matter. First, an attempt is made to determine the fundamental characteristics of international law, the forces that delineate and permeate its applications. Secondly, the multiple relations between law and policy are analysed. Politics are a highly relevant factor in the implementation of every legal order (and also a threat to it); this is all the more true in international law, where the two forces, law and politics, have significant links. Thirdly, the discussion focuses on a series of fundamental socio-legal notions: the common good, justice, legal security, reciprocity (plus equality and proportionality), liberty, ethics and social morality, and reason.

Abstract

Volwaardige maatschappelijke participatie van personen met een handicap impliceert dat zij optimaal gebruik moeten kunnen maken van alle beschikbare dienstverlening. Woonzorgcentra, diensten voor gezinszorg, thuisverpleegkundigen, lokale dienstencentra en andere welzijnsvoorzieningen worden dan ook steeds meer geconfronteerd met zorgvragen van personen met een handicap. Samen moeten zij een integrale en een sectoroverstijgende zorg en ondersteuning bieden. Om dit tot stand te brengen moeten de bestaande schotten worden doorbroken. Dit is een gezamenlijke opdracht voor de Vlaamse overheid, beleidsverantwoordelijken, directies van voorzieningen en gebruikersorganisaties. Deze publicatie inspireert door handvaten aan te reiken voor een kwaliteitsvolle en geïntegreerde zorg op maat van een persoon met een handicap en het ontwikkelen van duurzame samenwerkingsverbanden tussen woonzorg- en VAPH-voorzieningen. Woonzorg en sector personen met een handicap kunnen immers zoveel meer betekenen voor elkaar.

Abstract

International negotiations have become an important feature of the world trading system, but very few scholars have attempted to analyse this process. Using case studies in four areas - culture, textiles and apparel, autos, and pharmaceuticals - negotiated in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Maryse Robert uses a theoretical framework to help explain the outcome of such negotiations in terms of structure and process that. The structure of negotiations relates to states' objectives, outcomes, resources (in industry and in government), and issue-specific power. Process involves state's behaviour as expressed by its tactics during negotiation. Among the questions the author raises are: How are winning and losing defined in a given issue area? What are a state's resources as it enters a trade negotiation? Are all resources equally important? Is the utility of some tactics linked to certain resources? The key message of the book is that it is the right mix of resources and tactics that determines the outcome of negotiation. Very few scholars have attempted to analyse trade negotiations. Using case studies in four areas - culture, textiles and apparel, autos and pharmaceuticals - Robert proposes a theoretical framework to help explain the outcome of a negotiation in the field of international trade. She argues that this outcome has two characteristics: structure and process. The former is constituted of the resources a state brings to the table in a given issue area; the latter refers to the state's behaviour as expressed by its tactics during negotiation. The key message of the book is that it is the right mix of resources and tactics that determines the outcome.
