This hefty book contains over 120 chapters by energy experts from the US, EU and beyond on how best to achieve energy policy objectives. Our philosophy of law strain continues to grow. The Encounters in Law and Philosophy series is welcoming two new volumes (page 4). We also have a new edition of Philosophy of International Law by Anthony Carty (page 6) and two new monographs: Levinas, Ethics and Law by Matthew Stone and Evidence and Proof: Volume 1: Context and Critique by Donald Nicolson (page 7). If legal history is your thing, don’t miss Cicero’s Law: Rethinking Roman Law of the Late Republic edited by Paul J. du Plessis (page 17), and you might be intrigued by In Search of the Way: Legal Philosophy of the Classic Chinese Thinkers by Wejen Chang (page 18).

Philosophy of Law & Jurisprudence
SERIES
Encounters in Law and Philosophy Series Editors: Thanos Zartaloudis, University of Kent, and Anton Schutz, Birkbeck, University of London This series interrogates, historically and theoretically, the encounters between philosophy and law. Each volume takes a unique approach and challenges traditional systemic approaches, expanding the legal mind’s imagination in today’s rapidly changing intellectual and legal landscape.

On the Idea of Potency Juridical and Theological Roots of the Western Cultural Tradition Emanuele Castrucci, University of Sienna new
A critique of the metaphysical concept of power and potency in the history of Western jurisprudence Sweeping through the history of Western philosophy of law, Emanuele Castrucci deals with the metaphysical idea of potency as defined by Spinoza and Nietzsche, upsetting entrenched theories of jurisprudence.
July 2016 160 pages Pb 978 1 4744 1185 1 £19.99 Hb 978 1 4744 1184 4 £60.00 ebook
Castrucci first addresses how the idea of potency can change the meaning of the power ascribed to an omnipotent God. This brings together classical Greek philosophy with Jewish biblical exegesis, which Castrucci links through the juncture of Christianity. He then relates potency to the classical philosophical tradition in Aristotle’s Metaphysics and its Arabic interpretations, particularly Ibn Rushd’s (Averroës). This leads us to the genesis of natural law theory in Western philosophy, from Augustine to Aquinas and from Duns Scotus to Ockham. Moving on, Castrucci examines the inherently problematic concept of political theology, pitting Spinozan–Nietzschean potency against Kant and Enlightenment natural law to reveal the weaknesses inherent in the Enlightenment system. Finally, Castrucci applies the theories of Carl Schmitt to the philosophical rationalism of the Western tradition, showing us how it has failed to contain absolute power in a juridical sense.

Philosophy of Law & Jurisprudence Political Theology
forthcoming
Demystifying Universality’s Immaculate Conception Anton Schütz and Marinos Diamantides, both Birkbeck, University of London Targets the widespread secularisation thesis and provides potential alternatives to it
March 2017 160 pages Pb 978 0 7486 9777 9 £24.99 Hb 978 0 7486 9776 2 £70.00 ebook
Anton Schütz and Marinos Diamantides outline how the thesis of secularisation commands ethical and moral standards that seem paradoxical to its sense and character. They argue for a Western-inclusive, rather than Western-exclusive, take on what could be called ‘anthropology’. The popular modern hope has been that secularisation in the legal and political domains will simultaneously settle modernity’s scores with religion and uphold the ethical aspirations of religion. This conundrum concerns both liberal (depoliticising) and egalitarian (re-politicising) views of law. They argue that the consensus on secularisation has failed to offer a satisfactory solution and this is unlikely to change.
STASIS Civil War as a Political Paradigm bestseller
Giorgio Agamben, European Graduate School Translated by Nicholas Heron, University of Queensland Investigates the ongoing warfare between European state power and its most malignant enemy: civil war itself
July 2015 64 pages Pb 978 1 4744 0307 8 £11.99 Hb 978 1 4744 0153 1 £40.00 ebook
Giorgio Agamben shows you that the survival of the state is depends on its ability to preserve the political community from factional enmity. Agamben investigates first the classical Athenian theme of ‘stasis’ – the city’s struggle against internal revolt. He then turns to a new reading of Hobbes’ Leviathan and its approach to the peril of the early modern English Commonwealth’s exposure to civil strife, division and revolution. At the heart of this book is the issue of state powers in their continuous decline – an issue that is key to the renewal of political, philosophical and legal thought.

Anthony Carty offers an internal critique of the discipline of international law whilst showing the necessary place for philosophy in it. By reintroducing philosophy into the heart of the study of international law, he explains how traditional philosophy has always been an integral part of the discipline. However, this has been driven out by legal positivism, which has, in turn, become a pure technique of law. He explores the extent of the disintegration and confusion in the discipline and offers various ways of renewing philosophical practice. By covering a range of approaches – post-structuralism, neo-Marxist geopolitics, social-democratic constitutional theory and existential phenomenology – this book will help you to think afresh about how to bring order to, and find order in, contemporary international society. New for this edition • A revised historical introduction, illustrating the significance of late scholastic natural law for the shaping of the beginnings of international law • Explains the gradual dominance of legal positivism and pragmatism or professionalism for the contemporary international law scene • Debates international law and its application in legal practice and legal personality, the scope of rightful self-defence and use of force • Explores various philosophical approaches to international legal order at the moment, such as the analytical school, law and economics, social democratic and Marxist notions of development • Uses a newly combined phenomenological, natural law approach • Also works in an Asian-Confucian context

Philosophy of Law & Jurisprudence Levinas, Ethics and Law Matthew Stone, University of Essex
NEW
A provocative account of how Levinas’ ethics can help us understand our relationship with law
July 2016 160 pages Hb 978 1 4744 0076 3 £70.00 ebook
Levinas has been read, variously, as a theorist of judicial activism, a champion of radical human rights, an illuminator of the inner soul of private law and a proponent of natural law theory. Matthew Stone asks what unites such apparently disparate applications of Levinas’ ideas about law and, in doing so, explores the ethical challenge of law’s relationship with ‘the Other’. Stone ultimately offers a sceptical conclusion on the capacity of such an ethics to be invested in legal institutions and instead proposes that Levinas’ ethics should be embodied in the perpetual critique of law.

This volume explores how the private law concepts of trust and patrimony interact in various jurisdictions, with a view to advancing the understanding of the trust as a fundamental legal concept.

Before the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum, the First Minister Alex Salmond promised a written constitution for Scotland in the event of a ‘Yes’ vote. In most other democratic countries, this would have been unremarkable. But the UK is almost unique in having never adopted a written constitution or other fundamental law. W. Elliot Bulmer explores Scotland’s constitutional history and recent political trajectory to discover why this commitment arose, and explains the SNP’s proposals.

A study of Islamic law and political power in the Ottoman Empire’s richest provincial city Islamic law is often portrayed as the quintessential jurists’ law: developed by scholars outside the purview of the state. But for the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, justice was the ultimate duty of the monarch and Islamic law was a tool of legitimation and governance. James E. Baldwin examines how the interplay of religious scholarship and royal justice underpinned legal practice in Cairo. Through detailed studies, this book investigates the relationship between the sharia and political power, the plurality of Islamic legal practice and the nature of centre– periphery relations in the Ottoman Empire.

‘Any and every one interested in the foundations of Chinese thought about law and legal institutions should applaud the publication of In Search of the Way by Professor Chang Wejen. It is the culmination of a lifetime of learning and deep reflection by an extraordinary scholar, and replete with enormous insight and wisdom.’ William P. Alford, Harvard Law School Wejen Chang brings a fresh perspective to the most prominent philosophers of the classical period – Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, Xunzi, Lord Shang and Han Fei – philosophers whose ideas still influence Chinese thinking and behaviour today. He shows how these thinkers addressed the key question of how philosophical thinking can serve humanity and society. Chang systematically presents their different solutions and evaluates them according to reason and experience, helping you to understand the philosophical roots of law and Chinese law in particular.
