This book poses an associated, but no less fundamental, question about law which has received much less attention in the legal literature. It is: 'Who is law for?' Whenever people go to law, they are judged for their suitability as legal persons. They are given or refused rights and duties on the basis of ideas about who matters. These ideas are basic to legal-decision making; they form the intellectual and moral underpinning of legal thought. They help to determine whether law is essentially for rational human beings or whether it also speaks to and for human infants, adults with impaired reasoning, the comotose, foetuses and even animals. Are these the right kind of beings to enter legal relationships and so become legal persons. Are they, for example, sufficiently rational, or sacred or simply human? Is law meant for them? This book reveals and evaluates the type of thinking that goes into these fundamental legal and metaphysical determinations about who should be capable of bearing legal rights and duties. It identifies and analyses four influential ways of thinking about law's person, each with its own metaphysical suppositions. One approach derives from rationalist philosophy, a second from religion, a third from evolutionary biology while the fourth is strictly legalistic and so endeavours to eschew metaphysics altogether. The book offers a clear, coherent and critical account of these complex moral and intellectual processes entailed in the making of legal persons."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLegal theory today. 606 $aJuristic persons 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $2Jurisprudence & philosophy of law 615 0$aJuristic persons. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 676 $a340.1 700 $aNaffine$b Ngaire$0554977 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777945303321 996 $aLaw's meaning of life$93724171 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04592nam 22007935 450 001 9910580173203321 005 20251113185712.0 010 $a3-031-08974-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-08974-9 035 $a(CKB)5700000000100493 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7029184 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7029184 035 $a(PPN)26389827X 035 $a(OCoLC)1336494870 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-08974-9 035 $a(EXLCZ)995700000000100493 100 $a20220625d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aInformation Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems $e19th International Conference, IPMU 2022, Milan, Italy, July 11?15, 2022, Proceedings, Part II /$fedited by Davide Ciucci, Inés Couso, Jesús Medina, Dominik ?l?zak, Davide Petturiti, Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier, Ronald R.

The 124 papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 188 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections as follows: aggregation theory beyond the unit interval; formal concept analysis and uncertainty; fuzzy implication functions; fuzzy mathematical analysis and its applications; generalized sets and operators; information fusion techniques based on aggregation functions, pre-aggregation functions, and their generalizations; interval uncertainty; knowledge acquisition, representation and reasoning; logical structures of opposition and logical syllogisms; mathematical fuzzy logics; theoretical and applied aspects of imprecise probabilities; data science and machine learning; decision making modeling and applications; e-health; fuzzy methods in data mining and knowledge discovery; soft computing and artificia intelligence techniques in image processing; soft methods in statistics and data analysis; uncertainty, heterogeneity, reliability and explainability in AI; weak and cautious supervised learning. 410 0$aCommunications in Computer and Information Science,$x1865-0937 ;$v1602 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aComputer engineering 606 $aComputer networks 606 $aMachine theory 606 $aImage processing$xDigital techniques 606 $aComputer vision 606 $aNumerical analysis 606 $aSocial sciences$xData processing 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aComputer Engineering and Networks 606 $aFormal Languages and Automata Theory 606 $aComputer Imaging, Vision, Pattern Recognition and Graphics 606 $aNumerical Analysis 606 $aComputer Application in Social and Behavioral Sciences 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aComputer engineering. 615 0$aComputer networks. 615 0$aMachine theory. 615 0$aImage processing$xDigital techniques. 615 0$aComputer vision. 615 0$aNumerical analysis. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xData processing. 615 14$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aComputer Engineering and Networks. 615 24$aFormal Languages and Automata Theory. 615 24$aComputer Imaging, Vision, Pattern Recognition and Graphics. 615 24$aNumerical Analysis. 615 24$aComputer Application in Social and Behavioral Sciences. 676 $a006.33 676 $a006.33 702 $aCiucci$b Davide 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910580173203321 996 $aInformation Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems$91942968 997 $aUNINA
