Cognition of the Law
This book’s basic hypothesis – which it proposes to test with a cognitive-sociological approach – is that legal behavior, like every form of human behavior, is directed and framed by biosocial constraints that are neither entirely genetic nor exclusively cultural.

Socio-legal scholars today have to...

I legami sono ciò che in un certo senso non ci fa perdere la bussola nel viaggio della nostra vita, e ce n’è uno molto importante, quello tra nonni e nipoti, che nel tempo si trasforma poiché gli uni si fanno sempre più anziani mentre gli altri, da bambini che erano, man mano diventano ragazzi, giovani adulti e infine uomini o donne. Nella letteratura troviamo tanti esempi e storie che ci raccontano il rapporto tra nonni e nipoti, invece gli studi che ripercorrono la trasformazione di questo rapporto sono piuttosto carenti. Che ruolo rivestono oggi i nonni? Qual è la relazione con i nipoti? L’Autrice ha condotto un’interessante ricerca con il fine di comprendere il significato che...
