PER UNA STORIA DELL'EUTHYNA: L'EVOLUZIONE DELLA PROCEDURA DAL V SECOLO AD ARISTOTELEORANGES, ANNABELLA 17 March 2015 (has links)
Il presente lavoro di tesi verte sulla procedura di euthyna, rendiconto di fine mandato cui erano tenuti a sottoporsi tutti i magistrati e i cittadini ateniesi incaricati di svolgere ad hoc incarichi per la città. L’unica fonte che documenta questa procedura è l’Athenaion Politeia, il cui resoconto, valido per il IV secolo, pone alcuni problemi rispetto all’epoca precedente. Partendo dall’analisi sistematica delle testimonianze sulla storia dell’euthyna e sul suo impiego, lo studio affronta il tema del rendiconto rispetto agli snodi istituzionali della storia ateniese e raccoglie in un catalogo ragionato le testimonianze relative ai processi sorti dall’euthyna. Viene inoltre affrontato il tema del rapporto fra l’euthyna e le altre procedure previste dal diritto attico (graphai, dikai, eisangheliai), rispetto alle quali il rendiconto avrebbe svolto una funzione di procedura preliminare. La tesi è strutturata in due sezioni. Nella prima, viene tracciato il profilo storico della procedura di eÜquna dalle sue origini (probabilmente di epoca soloniana) fino alla riforma di Efialte e alla fine del V secolo. La seconda sezione è costituita dal catalogo dei casi di rendiconto, ove riceve dettagliata discussione ogni singola vicenda giudiziaria. Per agevolare la consultazione, i risultati sono raccolti in due tabelle riassuntive, che chiudono il lavoro. / This work focuses on euthyna, the accountability procedure to which all people who performed an official task for the community, both Athenian magistrates and citizens occasionally assigned to particular tasks, were required to undergo at the end of their office. The only source that illustrates this procedure is Athenaion Politeia, whose account arouses problems in comparison with the period preceding the fourth century. Starting from a systematic analysis of evidence, this thesis addresses the issue of euthyna history, following the turning points of Athenian institutional history and collecting the evidence of euthyna trials in a catalog raisonne. Moreover, this thesis deals with the issue of connections between euthyna and other procedures prescribed by Athenian law (graphai, dikai, eisangheliai), in respect of which euthyna seems to have played a preliminary function. The work is divided into two sections. The first part includes an historical profile of the euthyna procedure from its origins to the Ephialtes’ reform and the end of the fifth century. The second section consists of a detailed discussion of trials perì ton euthynón, collected in the catalog raisonne. To make the consultation facilitated, the results are collected in two tables, which close the work.

A Pragmatic Standard of Legal ValidityTyler, John 2012 May 1900 (has links)
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law.
These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism.
In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method.
This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior.
The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent.
The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will.
Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.
