Can anyone here explain to me the appeal and support for common law versus civil law? Civil law prioritizes its law on statutes and codified legislation. This means standardization, universal understanding, and clear written reference. However, Common Law relies on decision law: courts interpreting and deciding what the law is. While a decentralized effort in interpreting law can be beneficial for sounder decision making, isn't the idea of decentralized law creation kind of unruly? You have one court deciding that the owner of a bull that gorges a sheep isn't liable while another one decides that the owner is. Nobody can agree what the damn rule is and you're left at the mercy of the judge you're given.

Just give me the cliffnotes version of the Civil vs Common Law debate.

Law law promotes its law on laws and laws. The standard of the standard, world information, and reference reference mean. However, Justice Law has the right to decide: decisions that show the law and enforce the law.

>If you had a chance to ask Aristotle what he thought of the idea of writing about physical science for general readers, he would not have understood what you meant. All of his own writing, on physics and astronomy as well as on politics and aesthetics, was accessible to any educated Greek of his time. This is not evidence so much of Aristotle’s skills as a writer, or of the excellence of Greek education, as it is of the primitive state of Hellenic physical science, which made no effective use of mathematics. It is mathematics above all that presents an obstacle to communication between professional scientists and the general educated public.

What the FUCK did he mean by this?

He's wrong. Greek Mathematics is far more complex than usually presented in textbooks. Geometric Algebra is actually quite powerful and many of Aristotle's contemporaries were up to tremendously advanced mathematics (Menaechmus, Dinostratus, Theodorus, Eudoxus, Autolycus, etc.). Explaining modern algebraic notion would likely not be difficult.
>>
>>9946243

In Aristotle's time most things could be understood by the educated class because these things wasn't so advanced that it required special aptitudes and/or years of study.

Now the educated class is fragmented into different specialties because the discourses around each subject matter are so much more developed, many of them actually requiring certain mental potentialities beyond the potentialities you need for baseline education.

Aristotle's time is a combination of subscribers and administrators under smaller groups of organizations. At this time, children's learning styles are different because they are a major night of major events, with a strong mental and non-Gourmet mind.

what's the best translation of the lotus sutra, /lit/? i've been reading bhikkhu bodhi's "in the buddha's words" translation anthology and it's good stuff. planning on reading the lotus sutra next but there are dozens of translations, and i can't trust amazon reviewers because there are too many new agers in there. what's the /lit/-approved lotus sutra?

Nothing. Go read it. Unless you think you should first familiarize yourself with Russian realism, in which case you should at least read Gogol ("The Overcoat" in particular), and also the earlier French realists, Balzac and Stendhal. But, before the realists you had the romantics. Russians Pushkin and Lermontov are generally classified as such, but they anticipated the realist movement. However, to put their best known main characters, Eugene Onegin and Pechorin, in proper context, one should first read Goethe's Werther and Byron. Before reading Wether, you should be familiar with The Poems of Ossian and, more importantly, Rousseau's philosophy and Confessions which greatly influenced Goethe.

You HAVE started with the Greeks, right?

I'm starting to read Engelen van Apocalyps and it's pretty damn cool. Is anyone that already read it willing to talk about it for a bit?

Is it okay to sell used book to someone if it's bad? For example, I have an awful edition of Brothers Karamazov, awful translation, billion typos etc.
