  • Ideal" and "Real" in Classical Jewish Political Theory
    IDEAL" AND "REAL" IN CLASSICAL JEWISH POLITICAL THEORY Gerald J.Blidstein This essay considers the degree to which Jewish political and legal ? ? theory allows and, indeed, mandates the recognition that the Torah legislates an ideal law which is not appropriate for situations of social and political stress, and the degree to which such situations are really the historical norm rather than the exception. The Talmud, it is shown, adum brates this concept, but in a fairly marginal form.Maimonides places it at center stage of societal governance, apparently expecting that a Jewish so ciety will of necessity be thrown back upon this option; but he also sug gests guidelines for its regulation. R. Nissim of Barcelona (fourteenth century) both expands the concept and also relaxes the Maimonidean re strictions on its use. This final form of the doctrine receives a thorough critique at the hands of Isaac Abrabanel; but it also serves as the linchpin for much contemporary argument for the legitimacy of Israeli legislation from a classical Jewish perspective. The relationship of law and political theory to reality, that is, to the actual doings of people in society and to the concrete problems faced by societies, is undoubtedly complex. Are law and political theory to are shape reality? Or is the reverse true, and both law and theory to take their cue from society? This, of course, is a very abstract formula tion of the issue. It is also an overly extreme and polarized formulation, for it is likely that the relationship of law and political theory to re ality is dynamic and indeed dialectical.

  • Ancient Economic Thought, Volume 1
    ANCIENT ECONOMIC THOUGHT This collection explores the interrelationship between economic practice and intellectual constructs in a number of ancient cultures. Each chapter presents a new, richer understanding of the preoccupation of the ancients with specific economic problems including distribution, civic pride, management and uncertainty and how they were trying to resolve them. The research is based around the different artifacts and texts of the ancient East Indian, Hebraic, Greek, Hellenistic, Roman and emerging European cultures which remain for our consideration today: religious works, instruction manuals, literary and historical writings, epigrapha and legal documents. In looking at such items it becomes clear what a different exercise it is to look forward, from the earliest texts and artifacts of any culture, to measure the achievements of thinking in the areas of economics, than it is to take the more frequent route and look backward, beginning with the modern conception of economic systems and theory creation. Presenting fascinating insights into the economic thinking of ancient cultures, this volume will enhance the reawakening of interest in ancient economic history and thought. It will be of great interest to scholars of economic thought and the history of ideas. B.B.Price is Professor of Ancient and Medieval History at York University, Toronto, and is currently doing research and teaching as visiting professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

  • THE LAW" and the LAW of CHANGE* (Concluded.)
    "THE LAW" AND THE LAW OF CHANGE* (Concluded.) B. The Mishnah Cycle. The next cycle, that between the Old Testament canon and the Mishnah, is better known to us for its political and religious history than for its legal development. It is the period of the Second Temple, of the Maccabees, of the birth of Christianity, of the Wars of the Jews, of the destruction of the Temple and of the dispersion of the Jewish people. These great events did not pass without influencing the development of Jewish law, but the period furnishes a remarkable instance of how the common people's law takes its natural course in spite of catastrophes. We are told that Simeon the Righteous, the last of the Men of the Great Assembly, was followed by Antigonus of Soko and he by ZiIghth, "pairs," who through four generations conserved the traditions to the days of Hillel and Shammai. Four generations of Tanna'im (tanra'dm, "teachers," a title in this period), the schools of Hillel and Shanmai, carry on the tradition until the next codification, the Mishnah. Though very little has been written of the steps by which this law grew-and for this reason I shall study the period more fully than the others-we have suffi- cient evidence to support the view that glossation (including fictions), commentation (including equity) and legislation, so far as it appeared, followed each other in the usual order. Of the first step, the verbal expounding of the Bible, we havo several kinds of evidence. The reading of the Torah and the explaining of passage by passage in the synagogfie is supposed to go back to Ezra.3 5 This method of the study and application of the law to which the name of Midrash (midhrash,from ddrash, "to expound") has been given is, according to a very old reliable tradition, to be ascribed to the pre-tannaitic period.

INTRODUcrIONl Anglo-American evaluations of the hearsay rule manifest a cer­ tain schizophrenia. On the one hand, hearsay is praised as the "greatest contribution" of Anglo-American law to the world's jurisprudence? According to proponents of the rule, the hearsay bar provides a salutary mechanism to judges who are distrustful of the abilities and fairness of the jury.3 By barring hearsay. the judge, as gatekeeper of the evidence, can prevent the jury. an "untrained tribunal,"4 from overestimating the value of hearsay statements that may be unreliable.s * Assistant Professor of Law, Boston College Law School.

  • An Intellectual Genealogy of the Just War: a Survey of Christian Political Thought on the Justification of Warfare
    Small Wars Journal www.smallwarsjournal.com An Intellectual Genealogy of the Just War: A Survey of Christian Political Thought on the Justification of Warfare Keith J. Gomes This warping of war from a tool of last resort, theoretically aimed at improving a state’s nonmilitary position, into a twin-headed monster of abstract methodology and cathartic bloodletting, is one of the most unexpected children of reason. In some ways, it is linked to the killing of God and his replacement by both the Hero and the modern military planner. --John Ralston Saul1 Earth is sick, And Heaven is weary, with the hollow words, Which States and Kingdoms utter when they talk, Of truth and justice. --William Wordsworth2 Introduction This paper will briefly outline the development of the just war doctrine, with special emphasis on the developments in Christian thought which ultimately influenced modern international legal documents3. Numerous legal documents, such as the Geneva Conventions4 (1864-1948) contain within them references to just war. More recent attempts to codify the just war include the Report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty entitled 1 John Ralston Saul, Voltaire’s Bastards: The Dictatorship of Reason in the West, Penguin Books, (1993), 178. 2 William Worthsworth, The Excursion, at www.everypoet.com/archive/poetry/William_Wordsworth/william_wordsworth_402.htm. 3 In addition to international legal documents, from the time of St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica (1265-1274) (see http://ethics.sandiego.edu/Books/Texts/Aquinas/JustWar.html) to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1993) (online at http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a5.htm#2309), the Catholic Church also continues to uphold the tradition of the just war.

  • REBIRTH, REFORM and RESILIENCE Universities in Transition 1300-1700
    REBIRTH, REFORM AND RESILIENCE Universities in Transition 1300-1700 Edited by James M. Kittelson and Pamela J. Transue $25.00 REBIRTH, REFORM, AND RESILIENCE Universities in Transition, 1300-1700 Edited by James M. Kittelson and Pamela]. Transue In his Introduction to this collection of original essays, Professor Kittelson notes that the university is one of the few institutions that medieval Latin Christendom contributed directly to modern Western civilization. An export wherever else it is found, it is unique to Western culture. All cultures, to be sure, have had their intellec­ tuals—those men and women whose task it has been to learn, to know, and to teach. But only in Latin Christendom were scholars—the company of masters and students—found gathered together into the universitas whose entire purpose was to develop and disseminate knowledge in a continu­ ous and systematic fashion with little regard for the consequences of their activities. The studies in this volume treat the history of the universities from the late Middle Ages through the Reformation; that is, from the time of their secure founding, through the period in which they were posed the challenges of humanism and con­ fessionalism, but before the explosion of knowl­ edge that marked the emergence of modern science and the advent of the Enlightenment.
