Le métier de juriste : du droit politique selon Michel Villey
No full textAccording to French philoopher of law Michel Villey (1914-1988), the work of a layer cannot be resumed to applying the law or to follow what the judge can say: a philosophy of nature is intrinsic to the way of determinig fairness; it turns out to become a challenge among different philosophies of nature to define the right. Against legal positivism and Modern natural law, the author provides (in the wake of Villey's thought) to analyse the perenial philosophy of natural law as it was explained in Roman law in the Aristotle/Thomas Aquinas's legal theory
Philosophical outlines of the common good and its never-ending division
No full textThe common good is the final causality (telos) of living together. Both public order and a public moral virtue participate to its realization. Through a never-ending reference to human solidarity, language articulates its implementation and division.
The expression «common good» is a commonplace in political philosophy. As with any common expression, everyone tends to attribute his/her own personal definition to it. To clarify «common good» in a philosophical perspective, one can begin with an analysis of its two composite words («good» and «common») and then proceed with a reasoning based on the social nature of the expression. Shared by all as a reasonable truth, a commonplace (I intend here the topoi of Aristotle) is a map to understand the values that constitute the reflections of human beings about their lives. Any commonplace lacks exactitude on certain points because, similar to common sense, it is made of intuitions. Nevertheless, a truth about humanity emerges from intuition, which speaks to us spontaneously
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
