Informatics and the Foundations of Legal Reasoning
Informatics and the Foundations of Legal Reasoning represents a close collaboration between a wide range of disciplines and countries. Fourteen papers, together with a long analytical introduction by the editors, were selected from the contributions of legal theorists, computer scientists, philosophers and logicians who were members of an International Working Group supported by the European Commission. The Group was mandated to work towards determining how far the law is amenable to formal modeling, and in what ways computers might assist legal thinking and practice. The book is the result of discussions held by the Group over two and half years. It will help students and researchers from different backgrounds to focus on a common set of topics of increasing general interest. It embodies the results of work in progress and suggests many issues for further discussion. A stimulating text for undergraduate and graduate courses in law, philosophy and computer science departments, as well as for those interested in the place of computers in legal practice, especially at the international level.
Through Middle Eastern Eyes
Kenneth E. Bailey was both a missionary and a New Testament scholar. As a missionary, first in Egypt and later in Lebanon, Israel-Palestine, and Cyprus, he experienced firsthand the life of traditional Middle Eastern villagers, which led him to the conclusion that the village culture he witnessed in the twentieth century had hardly changed since the first century. Consequently, he was able to reinterpret Jesus’s parables and life experiences through this traditional culture. In a remarkable series of acclaimed books, which include The Cross and the Prodigal, Jacob and the Prodigal, and Jesus through Middle Eastern Eyes, Bailey showed that Jesus was the first mind of the New Testament who u...
International Handbook of AI Law
In recent years, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen remarkable advances, revolutionizing how we live, work, and interact with technology. As AI systems grow increasingly sophisticated and autonomous, they raise new and challenging legal questions, particularly regarding AI-specific risks associated with automated systems. This indispensable handbook, written in clear language by international experts from all over the world, sheds light on the complex relationship between AI and the law, covering both existing laws and emerging AI-specific legal regulations. Beginning with a comprehensive and insightful technical analysis of how AI works, subsequent chapters cover a wide arra...
The Handbook of Rationality
The first reference on rationality that integrates accounts from psychology and philosophy, covering descriptive and normative theories from both disciplines. Both analytic philosophy and cognitive psychology have made dramatic advances in understanding rationality, but there has been little interaction between the disciplines. This volume offers the first integrated overview of the state of the art in the psychology and philosophy of rationality. Written by leading experts from both disciplines, The Handbook of Rationality covers the main normative and descriptive theories of rationality—how people ought to think, how they actually think, and why we often deviate from what we can call rat...
The EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act
The EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act: A Commentary Edited by Ceyhun Necati Pehlivan, Nikolaus Forgó & Peggy Valcke As artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly permeate various facets of our lives, there are growing concerns about their disruptive effects on society and the risks they pose to human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. Accordingly, the AI phenomenon has given rise to numerous governance frameworks at all levels of jurisdiction. In this context, it cannot be denied that the European Union’s AI Act is the first legislation of its kind with global impact, establishing horizontal rules for the development, market placement, and use of AI systems. However, graspin...
A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, Supplement
The present work supplements the original volume of A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline this bibliography covers in its thematic section not only the classical crime categories of ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and taʿzīr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section, dedicated to countries, eras and institutions Olaf Köndgen comprehensively covers the historical and modern application of Islamic criminal law in all its forms. Unlocking the richness of this sub-field of Islamic law, also with the help of two detailed indices, this innovative reference work is highly relevant for all those researching Islamic law in general and the application of Islamic criminal law over time in particular.
Science Values and Objectivity

At the very least, values affect decisions about the choice of research problems to investigate and the uses to which the results of research are applied. But what about the actual doing of science?As Science, Values, and Objectivity reveals, the connections and interactions between values and science are quite complex. The essays in this volume Theory and Method in the Neurosciences surveys the nature and structure of theories in contemporary neuroscience, exploring many of its methodological techniques and problems. The essays in this volume from the Pittsburgh -Konstanz series explore basic questions...
