Law, History and Culture
A.Y. 2019/2020
Learning objectives
The teaching aims to illustrate, in its most salient lines, the history of European legal sources and thought between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, providing students with the ability to reflect on the main stages of the historical development of the European legal experience and, more in general, on the characteristics of western juridical civilization, as well as the ability to express orally the notions acquired with argumentative coherence, systematic rigor and language properties. The course also aims to provide students with the ability to orient themselves in the complex dialectic between legal sources, institutions and society and to analyze the legal problems of the past, questioning the relationship between law and society also with reference to the present.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will have to know the main stages of the development of law and European legal thought between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. They will also have to demonstrate that they have acquired an adequate critical capacity on the salient features of European legal events of the last centuries and an adequate ability to communicate autonomous reflections on these events, indispensable in order to be able to perceive and understand today's legal complexity.

Course syllabus
The course aims to illustrate, in its essentials, the evolution of modern and contemporary history of law, even in its connections with the political choices that made up the assumptions, particularly with regard to codification.
The emphasis is on reforms that, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, changed the face of European law, resulting in a shift from ius commune to that "codicistico". Some constants are of course referring to the comparative history, extending beyond the national framework in a European perspective and the search for interrelationships between legal history and political and social history.
