    Justice Benjamin Nathan Cardozo and His Two Most Important Questions: Reflections on the Choice of Tycho Brahe

    Full text link
    Professor Jeff Powell once observed that we are defined as much by the questions we think important as the answers [we] think correct. Justice Benjamin Nathan Cardozo considered two questions to be particularly important for those invested in our legal system: first, how do judges decide cases, and second to what purpose does our judicial process work

    A Methodized Discretion. L’analisi del ragionamento giudiziale negli scritti teorici di Benjamin Nathan Cardozo

    No full text
    The article’s aim is the analysis of some of the main themes examined in the most notable writings in legal theory by Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, such as The Nature of the Judicial Process (1921), The Growth of the Law (1924), The Paradoxes of Legal Science (1928) e Jurisprudence (1932). Particularly, the first paragraph examines the latter work, as prominent as curiously neglected by the literature (the only and considerable exception being Karl Llewellyn), with the purpose of pointing out how the broad notion of legal realism there presented can still be an useful analytical tool in order to investigate the complexity of that theoretical scenario. The second paragraph, instead, is dedicated to the scrutiny of the four method of judicial reasoning proposed by Cardozo, examining their relation to the crucial topic of judicial creation of law. Finally, the last paragraph focuses on some interesting observation of Cardozo about the relationship among the legislator and the constitutional justice, pointing out as the consideration developed on the matter by the author of The Nature of the Judicial process is far less naïf than the critical observations of Richard A. Posner are willing to recognize

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Book Review: Selected Writings of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo

    No full text
    Here under a single cover are the extra-judicial writings of our great philosopher-judge. For the most part this book is made up of well-known materials, including the famous lectures on the judicial process and the witty and gracious talks on law, literature, opinion writing, the new jurisprudence, the "game of the law and its prizes," and the "comradeship of the bar." But there are some new materials of interest: lecture notes from Professor Nicholas Murray Butler's psychology class; a student essay on The Moral Element in Matthew Arnold, suggesting one shaping source for the Justice's beautiful and lucid prose; and a Columbia Commencement Oration on The Altruist in Politics. The last, delivered in 1889, was a vigorous condemnation "alike of communism and of socialism that they thwart the instinct of expansion" or of individual energy and human personality for the "blind, mechanical power of the State" and suggests some intriguing comparisons between these early views and the Justice's later constitutional opinions. Chief Judge Lehman, a close personal friend, contributes a warm and appreciative memorial. And Professor Patterson, fittingly the first Cardozo Professor of Jurisprudence at Columbia,*has a foreword which is an admirable short introduction to Cardozo's juristic philosophy
