This tension between cosmos and chaos, order and disorder, is reflected in the word chaosmos.In this brilliant assessment of the philosophical basis of Eco's critical and fictional writing, Cristina Farronato explores the other distinctive aspect of Eco's thought ? the struggle for a composition of opposites, the outcome deriving from his ability to elicit similar contrasts from the past and re-play them in modern terms. Focusing principally on how Eco's scholarly background influenced his study of semiotics, Farronato analyzes The Name of the Rose in relation to William of Ockham's epistemology, C.S. Peirce's work on abduction, and Wittgenstein's theory of language. She discusses Foucault's Pendulum as an explicit comment on the modern debate on interpretation through a direct reference to Early Modern hermetic thought, correlates The Island of the Day Before as a postmodern mixture of science and superstition, and reviews Baudolino as an historical/fantastic novel that once again situates the Middle Ages in a postmodern context. Eco's Chaosmos demonstrates how Eco's use of semiotic theory is important for an understanding of the postmodern aspects of today's literature and culture. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century 606 $aGay erotic stories, American 606 $aGay men$xSexual behavior$vFiction 606 $aGay men's writings, American 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Italian$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican fiction 615 0$aGay erotic stories, American. 615 0$aGay men$xSexual behavior 615 0$aGay men's writings, American. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Italian. 676 $a853/.914 700 $aFarronato$b Cristina$01053323 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456283503321 996 $aEco's chaosmos$92485171 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05984nam 2200589 450 001 9910807353403321 005 20230803220818.0 010 $a1-61487-907-9 035 $a(CKB)2550000001189708 035 $a(EBL)3327372 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3327372 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3327372 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10829853 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL568633 035 $a(OCoLC)868964786 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001189708 100 $a20130516h20142014 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aPrinciples of equity /$fHenry Home, Lord Kames ; edited and with an introduction by Michael Lobban 205 $aThird edition. 210 1$aIndianapolis :$cLiberty Fund Inc.,$d[2014] 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (681 p.) 225 1 $aMajor works of Henry Home, Lord Kames 225 0$aNatural law and enlightenment classics 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-86597-616-3 311 $a1-306-37382-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a""Lord Kames, Principles of Equity ""; ""Front Matter ""; ""Title Page ""; ""Copyright Details ""; ""Table of Contents, p. vii ""; ""Editor's Introduction, p. ix ""; ""A Note on Legal Sources and Citations, p. xxvii ""; ""Abbreviations, p. xxxiii ""; ""Preliminary Discourse Being An Investigation of the Moral Laws of Society, p. xxxv ""; ""Volume I, p. 1 ""; ""Letter to Lord Mansfield, p. 3 ""; ""Preface to the Second Edition, p. 5 ""; ""Preface to the Present [Third] Edition, p. 7 ""; ""Table of Contents, p. 9 ""; ""Explanation of Some Scotch Law Terms Used in This Work, p. 15 "" 327 $a""Introduction, p. 17 """"Book I.

However, as a lawyer and, after 1752, as a judge on the Court of Session in Edinburgh, he made many of his most distinctive contributions through his works on the nature of law and legal development. Principles of Equity, first published in 1760, is considered his most lasting contribution to jurisprudence and is still cited. In his jurisprudence, Kames specifically sought to explain the distinction between the nature of equity and common law and to address related questions, such as whether equity should be bound by rules and whether there should be separate courts of law and equity. Beginning with a general introduction on the rise and nature of equity, Principles of Equity is divided into three books. The first two, "theoretical," books examine the powers of a court of equity as derived from justice and from utility, the two great principles Kames felt governed equity. The third book aims to be more practical, showing the application of these powers to several subjects, such as bankrupts. Principles of Equity is significant as an example of the approach of an Enlightenment thinker to practical legal questions and as an early attempt to reduce law to principles. There is evidence that this book was well known in the formative years of the United States and that both Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were familiar with Kames's treatise. Henry Home, Lord Kames (1696-1782), one of the leaders of the Scottish Enlightenment, was a judge in the supreme courts of Scotland and wrote extensively on morals, religion, education, aesthetics, history, political economy, and law, including natural law. His most distinctive contribution came through his works on the nature of law, where he sought to combine a philosophical approach with an empirical history of legal evolution.Michael Lobban is Professor of Legal History at Queen Mary, University of London.
