This book is the account of this field work attempting to make a thick description of the work of judges as they come to an agreement about files. The book represents a sort of Laboratory life’ of judges at work and tries to compare the type of objectivity reached in science laboratories with a very different but highly specific type of objectivity in the law.</p> Wed, 28 Sep 2011 12:35:04 +0000 admin 82 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/fr/node/213 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/fr/node/213" target="_blank">en lire plus</a></p> Law Modes of Existence Sociology of Science <p>A comparative ethnography of fact-making in science and judgment-making in law may allow to separate again what has been mixed up in the traditional definition of matter of fact: an ability to close up the discussion and an ability to produce proofs by enticing objects to bear witness on what is said about them. There is objectivity in both but one refers to a mental attitude of indifference to the solution while the other -objectity- refers to the many intimate and even passionnate contacts with the state of affairs at hand.</p> Fri, 07 Oct 2011 08:42:46 +0000 admin 213 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/fr/node/533 Law Modes of Existence <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads/MCGEE-cover_0.jpg" /><br /> Kyle McGee is a lawyer who is simultaneously a practitioner and a legal philosopher. His book about the &quot;normativity of networks&quot; puts to the trial the argument that Law is a mode of existence [LAW] the specificity of which can be characterized in an empirical way. But since his knowledge of law and of the philosophy of law is much larger and much deeper, his book goes much further in showing what could be drawn from an inquiry in terms of modes of existence.</p> Sat, 02 Nov 2013 07:46:39 +0000 admin 533 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/fr/node/614 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/fr/node/614" target="_blank">en lire plus</a></p> Law Modes of Existence <p>I want to stress how reassuring it is for me to see that it is actually the mode of existence I call [LAW] that has been so generously commented by English speaking jurists. Overall, I take this volume as a confirmation of my claim that [LAW] has resisted much better than all the other modes the crushing weight imposed by an exclusively epistemological definition of what true and false really mean.</p> Sun, 04 Jan 2015 20:30:48 +0000 admin 614 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr
