The course is intended to provide the students with notions and points of reflection, from an historical and juridical point of view, on the legal systems and sources of law in the medieval modern and contemporary Europe, moving from the direct examination of the sources of law, doctrines and application of law (which will be made available to the students and analysed together with them).

From the analysis of the systems and sources of law of the Early Middle Age the course will deal to examine the development of the statutory law (diritto comune) in Italy, Germany and France (Droit coutumier) until its crisis, in other words until that period defined “Ancien Régime” by Alexis de Tocqueville and which occurs before the season of the stabilization of the European laws of XIX century. The course will therefore the main phases whereby the current occidental legal systems based on codes and constitutions, evidencing the relevant doctrinal, political, social and economics recitals occurred during the age of the judicial particularism and according to the theory of modern natural law and rationalism.

Particular attention will be dedicated to the evolution of the ancient English constitutionalism, which deals with different theoretical and practical profiles with respect to those relating to the stabilization of French, German and Italian constitution experiences and which is not involved in problems characterising other Countries in Europe: the English law system based on the complex and articulated common law system, was not influenced by the theory of Sovereign State arising from French Revolution nor by the pushing to the need of the drafting of a written constitution.

Part of the course will be dedicated, in order to highlight from a practical point of view, the influence of the transition from the variety of the legal systems during ancient regime to the uniformity of the legal system of the codification, to the matter of the legal interpretation duly analysed by the most recent European doctrine.

For attendees students- in addition to the study of the notes – the following books are suggested:Tempi del diritto: età medievale, moderna, contemporanea, Giappichelli 2016; M. CARAVALE, Storia del diritto nell’Europa moderna e contemporanea, Editori Laterza, 2012, cap. IV, V, VI.

The common thread of the course taught in the academic year 2016-2017 is the experience of political exile after the so-called Spring of the Peoples, seen as a real watershed in European history. Particular attention will therefore be paid to the analysis of the forty-eight revolutions, as well as to their premises and consequences.
Necessary introduction to this analysis will be the discussion of the movements of "national rebirth" of a good part of the European peoples. Finally, the unification of Germany and Italy and the establishment of national states in Central and Eastern Europe will be addressed following the progressive crisis and then the collapse of the system of the great multiethnic empires (Austrian, Russian and Ottoman). The use of a comparative method will be continuous in order to find out common features of several national histories but also the peculiarities that differentiate them.

The course takes as its focus the relationships between theories of human rights, concerned with guiding action, and theories about human rights, concerned with foundational questions. In particular the course examines the theory of autonomy, vulnerability, recognition and social justice by Axel Honneth. There is general agreement about the fact that liberal-democratic societies are based on normative principles, which require legal provisions to ensure that governments do not violate anyone’s fundamental rights. Yet, partially on account of the complexity of the ongoing overlapping global processes of integration, deregulation and reform, partially on account of the influence of anti-foundational critique (deconstruction; postmodernism; relativism), these widely accepted principles seem to have lost much of their original explanatory and prescriptive force. Against those who claimed that this problem consists in a mere temporal delay between philosophical investigation and practical application Honneth argued that more is needed than time, hope and persistence to transform theoretically developed principles of freedom and justice into guidelines for political action. In his view the normative principles at the hearth of the human rights discourse are formulated in a manner that prevents us from deriving guidelines for political action. The course will examine the ethical model provided by Honneth for the purpose of situating his theory of social justice as recognition in the analysis of the variety of historically determined institutional instances and practices that embody existentially significant claims to self-realization.
