La presente obra, aunque constituye un todo orgánico, tiene dos partes claramente diferenciadas: la primera parte es la teoría general de la sucesión y la segunda se subdivide a su vez en dos materias: la sucesión legítima, o sea aquella que se produce cuando no existe testamento, y la sucesión contractual dedicada a los pactos sucesorios. Todo ello se estudia no sólo bajo la óptica del Código Civil, sino también de las distintas legislaciones específicas #llamémoslas o no forales# que existen dentro de nuestro país; y que tan ricas son en algunas materias como éste, precisamente, de la sucesión paccionada, que el Código Civil la había ignorado totalmente (por lo menos hasta la reciente reforma del artículo 831) . Todas estas materias están claramente relacionadas no sólo por regular el hecho sucesorio, sino, también de manera negativa por no aludir a la sucesión testamentaria y dejar aparte la sucesión forzosa o legitimaria, hasta el punto de que incluso determinadas materias, como el derecho de representación, han sido encuadradas en uno u otro ámbito según los diversos autores que los han estudiado, y que han seguido un criterio racional o legal (atendiendo a la ubicación dada por el Código Civil). He tratado de actualizar a fecha de hoy #marzo 2007# la normativa y jurisprudencia existente sobre las diversas materias. -
ALIANZA ¿Ha oído que el lenguaje es violencia y que la ciencia es sexista, o que estar obeso es saludable, o que no existe el sexo biológico, o que solo las personas blancas pueden ser racistas? ¿Se pregunta cómo esas ideas han conseguido tan rápidamente poner en entredicho la propia lógica de la sociedad occidental? El presente libro, traducido a más de quince lenguas, documenta la evolución del dogma que subyace a esos postulados, desde sus orígenes en el posmodernismo frances. Hoy, este dogma es reconocible tanto por sus efectos -la cultura de la cancelación y las campañas de acoso en redes sociales- como por sus axiomas, que con demasiada frecuencia son considerados indiscutibles por los medios de comunicación. Helen Pluckrose y James Lindsay desmontan este entramado teórico que sustenta el activismo radical, cuya deriva autoritaria representa una amenaza no solo para la democracia liberal, sino tambien para la modernidad misma. -
Recopilación de trabajos de investigación sobre temas que giran en torno a la “responsabilidad jurídica”, cuyos autores por su preparación y experiencia aportan aspectos y matices prácticos sobre el tema o trabajo tratado. El nacimiento de la obligatio como vinculum iuris llevó aparejado la necesidad de apertura de un cauce priocesal especifico en el que se permitiera al iudex la condena a los que se debía dar o hacer (dare facere oportere) contenido en el acuerdo verbal de la sponsio. Mediante la legis actio iudis postulationem se produjo el nacimiento del concepto procesal de actio como derecho a perseguir en el juicio lo que nos es debido… -

Communication and, indeed, our comprehension of the world in general are largely ordered by the number and measurement systems that have arisen over time. Numbers lend structure to human interaction by standardizing the language we use to interpret quantities and by helping us understand natural relationships between varying concepts. This book delves into the history of mathematical reasoning and the progression of numerical thought around the world. With detailed biographies of seminal thinkers and theorists, readers develop a sophisticated understanding of some of the most fundamental arithmetical concepts as well as the individuals who established them. -
