  (image source: Pinhan) Prof. Laurent Desutter's original collection Althusser and Law  ( Routledge 2013 ) has been translated into Turkish.  Abstract: Althusser ve Hukuk, gittikçe önem kazanan bir düşünür olarak Althusser’in hukuk üzerine görüşlerine adanan ilk kitap olarak görülür. Hukuk ve felsefe alanlarında çalışan akademisyenlerin Althusser üzerine makalelerinden, de Sutter editörlüğünde bir araya getirilerek oluşturulmuştur. Althusser’in “cinayetini” ve hukukla karşı karşıya geldiği bizzat kendi davasını göz önüne aldığımızda bu konu ve bu kişilik arasındaki ilişki de bilhassa ilginç görünmektedir. Ayrıca burada “Devletin İdeolojik Aygıtları” gibi birçok önemli hukuki/politik kavramın aydınlatıldığını, ilginç paraleller üzerinden genişletildiklerini göreceğiz. On the author: 1977 Belçika, Brüksel doğumlu yazar ve eleştirmen. Universiteit Brussel’de Hukuk Teorisi profesörlüğü yapmaktadır. Bu kitabın da ait olduğu Deleuze and Law [Deleuze ve Hukuk], Zizek and Law [Z...

CORE WEEKLY GATHERING: dr. Nathaniel BOYD (York) on Hegel and German Public Law (VUB: Council Room 2.07a, 21 APR 2026, 12:30-14:00)

-
Image
  (image source:  Hart/Bloomsbury ) Dr. Nathaniel Boyd will discuss his recent  Hegel and German Public Law  with dr. Raphaël Cahen . Abstract: Nathaniel Boyd's pathbreaking book argues that Hegel's political thought was shaped by German public law. This tradition of legal discourse, especially through its imperial tradition, was crucial to European modernity, influencing foundational philosophical concepts such as sovereignty, the state and the diverse legal systems that emerged from them. Hegel and German Public Law examines the impact of Johann Jacob Moser, Johann Stephan Pütter and Johann Christian von Majer on Hegel's intellectual development. It reveals how the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire informed his early speculative system and constitutional theory. In doing so, Boyd extends our understanding of Hegel's relation to European legal and political thought while offering an original interpretive framework for Hegel's absolute idealism and unfolding institu...

  (image source: SFDI ) Dr. Raphaël Cahen (guest lecturer) has contributed a lemma on the Belgian professor of international law Edouard Descamps for the Galerie des internationalistes  of the French Society of International Law ( SFDI ). First paragraph: Issu d’une famille catholique, Descamps étudie le droit et les sciences politiques à Namur et à Louvain jusqu’à l’obtention de son doctorat en droit (1869) et d’un doctorat en sciences politiques et administratives (1870). Alors qu’il est déjà avocat au barreau de Mons, il s’inscrit à celui de Paris où il parfait ses études à la Faculté de droit lors de la guerre franco-prussienne.
