Theories on Law and Ageing: The Jurisprudence of Elder Law
The fundamental idea of law and ageing as a discrete category of legal principle and theory is controversial: What special feature and characteristics of older adults justify and even require a particular theoretical approach? Is it possible to formulate legitimate generalizations about a group identified as older adults, while avoiding the harmful stereotypes of ageism? And what if anything is gained by the approach? In an attempt to provide answers to these difficult questions, this book presents a collec...

Pictorial Law: Modern Law and the Power of Pictures
We live in a digital Media Society, in which pictures are becoming more and more important. So, human communication is increasingly becoming a visual communication. That is not a new finding. But the new question is: What does this development mean for the law? Up to now the law is the part of the society which is most sceptical towards images. Law has still resisted the visual temptation. This will not last for ever. The rush of pictures in everyday life and in every part of the society is much too strong ...

Interpretation of Law in the Age of Enlightenment: From the Rule of the King to the Rule of Law
A collaboration of leading historians of European law and philosophers of law and politics identifying and explaining the practice of interpretation of law in the 18th century.

The ideology of the Age was that law, i.e, the will of the sovereign, can be explicitly and appropriately stated, thus making interpretation redundant. However, the reality was that in the 18th century, there was no one leadi...
