The Paradigms of Legal Thinking Paradigms jo borito 11/12/19 9:01 Page 1 The author introduces the reader to reasoning in law through the possibilities, boundaries and traps of assuming personal responsibility and impersonal pattern adoption that have arisen in the history of human thought and in the various legal cultures. He discloses actual processes hidden by the veil of patterns followed in thinking, processes that we encounter both in our conceptual-logical quests for certainties and in the undertaking of fertilising ambiguity. When trying to identify definitions lurking behind the human construct of facts, notions, norms, logic, and thinking, or behind the practice of giving meanings, he discovers tradition in our presuppositions, and our world-view and moral stance in our tacit agreements. Recognising the importance of the role communication plays in shaping society, he describes our existence and institutions as self-regulating processes. Since law is a wholly social venture, we not only take part in its oeuvre with our entire personality, but are also collectively responsible for its destiny. In the final analysis, anything can be qualified as ‘legal’ or ‘non-legal’ in one or another recognised sense in which law can originate, but, as a relative totality, it can only be qualified as ‘more legal’ or ‘less legal’ in any combination of the above senses. Being formed in an uninterrupted process, neither the totality nor particular pieces of law can be taken as complete or unchangeably identical with itself. Therefore law can only be identified through its motions and computable states of ‘transforming into’ or ‘withdrawing from’ the distinctive domain of the law. Thereby both society at large and its legal professionals actually contribute to—by shaping incessantly—what presents itself as ready-to-take, according to the law’s official ideology. For our initiation, play, role- undertaking and human responsibility lurk behind the law’s formal mask in the backstage. Or, this equals to realise that all we have become subjects from mere objects, actors from mere addressees. And despite the variety of civilisational overcoats, the entire culture of law is still exclusively inherent in us who experience it day to day. We bear it and shape it. Everything conventional in it is conventionalised by us. It has no further existence or effect beyond this. And with its existence inherent in us, we cannot convey the responsibility to be born for it on somebody else either. It is ours in its totality so much that it cannot be torn out of our days or acts. It will thus turn into what we guard it to become. Therefore we must take care of it at all times since we are, in many ways, taking care of our own.

PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS The purpose of the reasoning below is to lead the reader Philosophy of science methodologically to the understanding of the paradigms and philosophy that have shaped our concept of law from the beginning and of language which form the basis of our thinking in law.This presupposes a journey to the fields of philosophy of science and philos- ophy of language. However alien it may seem to our subject, a certain distance is still needed in order to be able to raise particular issues at all. Such issues are, for example: What does language actually mean? What does it mean that we can enter communication with others relying upon something common in language? How can we decipher a text and how is it expedient to do so? How can we unravel and disclose messages inherent in a text? How do we reason in everyday life? And how do we reason when conducting a scientific inquiry? And, anyway, what choices has human thinking faced throughout our known history? This range of problems might appear to be an area remote Legal thinking / from law, yet it proves to be of direct interest from the everyday thinking perspective of law.

  • Worldly Words and Sacred Ideas: the Shifting Meaning and Usage of “Secular,” 400-1600
    Worldly Words and Sacred Ideas: The Shifting Meaning and Usage of “Secular,” 400-1600 by Natasha Wismark A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Natasha Wismark, May 2018 ABSTRACT WORLDLY WORDS AND SACRED IDEAS: THE SHIFTING MEANING AND USAGE OF “SECULAR,” 400-1600 Natasha Wismark Advisor: University of Guelph, 2018 Professor P. A. Goddard This thesis offers a close examination of the word “secular” from the fifth century to the seventeenth century and examines its origins and the change in its usage over the course of the medieval and early modern periods, primarily in England. Existing scholarship on the idea of the secular has ignored the meaning of the word and how its usage adapted to social and political change. I argue that “secular” is not a static concept nor does it simply signify a society stripped of religion, but rather, the term occupies a complex neutral space that shifts within changing and evolving demarcations between sacred and temporal circumstances. Furthermore, I argue that the secular has had a long-standing place in Christain thought, though its role changed to meet the historical needs of Christain societies. In addition to undertaking a close reading of primary sources and foundational thinkers, I utilized text analysis software throughout my research in order to establish statistical data that tracks the changes in usage of the term from 1473-1603. Dedication For my family, old and new. iii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my advisor, Professor Peter Goddard in the Department of History at the University of Guelph.

September 2014 Acknowledgments This study on the theological anxiety of political principles reflects my personal anxiety regarding the legitimate origin of authority and its commitment with justice. Although my original intention was to show the rebellious stream in the traditional views of Christianity and Islam, I finally negotiated into a more moderate approach to both traditions showing the struggle between the competing political and theological principles of justice and obedience. Although all this discussion on justice and the questioning of authority may sound rebellious, this dissertation took shape and was finished while building a more traditional project: my !beautiful family. I want to thank my committee, and especially to acknowledge the role of my mentor and advisor, Professor Juan Campo, who trusted and encouraged my self motivation and my capacity to overcome difficulties. His calm but acute synthesis of Christianity and Islam has always been inspiring. I would also like to thank Professor Kathleen Moore. I have had the pleasure to learn from her analysis of the traditions of Islamic law in modern political systems, as well as from her work in the interfaith dialogue Initiative.

ATINER is an independent Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER‟s downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens“…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing”. (“Pericles‟ Funeral Oration”, in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER‟s mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people‟s opinions and beliefs.
