The course of lectures will focus on the moments of change in the western law and society, illustrating the relationship between legal systems and social, religious and economic changes.
Therefore, it will focus on:
The transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages: the impact of Christianism on legal systems; demographic and economic changes; the new institutions of private law and the new models of sovereignty.
Law in Europe after 1000 aD: geopolitical tensions; economic and ecclesiological transformations; the birth of scholastic thought and the rational trial; the characters of civil and canonical legal science.
The crises of the late Middle Ages and the new European political order between 15th and 16t centuries: new institutions in private and business law; nationalization of legal sciences; religious crisis and nationalization of churches; the new international problems and the birth of human rights.
Enlightenment: doctrines, revolutions, and bourgeois law. The triumph of the rule of law; the new private bourgeois law; the codifications and the sovereign criminal law; the birth of the administration.
The crisis of the bourgeois paradigm.
