Teleology in Renaissance Science
No full textTeleology is the idea according to which every event is directed toward precise aim, even those not depending from conscious actions. The teleological interpretation of the world is particularly important in Renaissance natural philosophy because of the detachment from tradition. Nature’s regularity and organization is no more attributed to God but to nature itself. Starting from the sixteenth century’s Italian philosophy, nature is believed to be sensitive and intelligent in different degrees, and it implies a completely new teleological interpretation of the world
I principi epistemologici della botanica di Guy de La Brosse
No full textThis paper investigates some core aspects of Guy de La Brosse’s (1586-1641) botanical work. In the first section, the focus is on the epistemological principles of La Brosse’s botany by analyzing the first and second book of the treatise De la nature, vertu et utilité des plantes (1628). In the second section, the author discusses the role of Paracelsus’s chemistry in La Brosse’s work, with a particular attention to the third book of the De la nature. The final section deals with La Brosse’s interest in the visualization of plants. Here, the author provides the transcription and first Italian translation of a short manuscript related to Abraham Bosse’s engravings for La Brosse’s unfinished book Icones posthumae
The European Convention on Human Rights and Its Impact on National Private Law: An Introduction
No full textOver the last two decades, the European Convention on Human Rights
(ECHR) has come to play a major role in a large number of private law issues.
The aim of this book is to provide a broader view of the impact of the ECHR
on national private law. To that end, it begins with a comparative analysis of
the interaction between the ECHR and Contracting States’ domestic laws. The
chapters forming the main part of the book explore, also from a comparative
perspective, the influence of the ECHR on a wide range of fields of private
law, including family law, data protection law, media law, copyright law, labour
law as well as private international law and procedural law. The analysis of
cases reveals many common features, but likewise some inconsistencies, in the
decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The final part
of the book focuses on a number of overarching issues, in particular the role
of comparative law in the reasoning of the ECtHR and the contribution of the
ECHR to European harmonisation of private law. What becomes apparent from
the various contributions is that the ECHR and the case-law of the ECtHR are
becoming important elements of a common European private law
Freier Markt und zwingendes Vertragsrecht. Zugleich ein Beitrag zum Recht der Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen
No full textZwingendes Vertragsrecht erfüllt in einer Marktwirtschaft zwei gegensätzliche Aufgaben. Einerseits sichert es die Funktionsbedingungen des Marktmechanismus, indem es irrationale Entscheidungen, Informationsasymmetrien, opportunistisches Verhalten und andere Formen des Marktversagens verhindert. Andererseits setzt es der Domäne des Marktes aus ethischen oder sozialpolitischen Gründen Grenzen, indem es bestimmte Transaktionen entweder vollständig verbietet oder nur unter gewissen formalen oder inhaltlichen Voraussetzungen erlaubt. Matteo Fornasier befasst sich vor allem mit der zuerst genannten Kategorie zwingender Normen. Er analysiert unter Berücksichtigung institutionenökonomischer Erkenntnisse, in welchen Situationen die Beschränkung der vertraglichen Gestaltungsfreiheit eine Störung des Vertragsverhältnisses und des Marktes insgesamt abzuwenden vermag. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt dabei dem Recht der Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen. Am Beispiel der Klauselkontrolle zeigt er, dass der Blick auf die ökonomische Funktion zwingender Regelungen in vielen Fällen wertvolle Orientierung bietet, um strittige Fragen des geltenden Rechts sachgerecht zu lösen

An introduction to Total Variation for Image Analysis
No full textThese are the lecture notes of a course taught in Linz in Sept., 2009, at the school "summer school on sparsity", organized by Massimo Fornasier and Ronny Romlau. They address various theoretical and practical topics related to Total Variation-based image reconstruction. They focu first on some theoretical results on functions which minimize the total variation, and in a second part, describe a few standard and less standard algorithms to minimize the total variation in a finite-differences setting, with a series of applications from simple denoising to stereo, or deconvolution issues, and even more exotic uses like the minimization of minimal partition problems
