DESCRIPTION:La Faculté de droit et le département de philosophie accueillen
 t Susan Haack\, professeure de philosophie et de droit à l'Université de M
 iami\, pour un Atelier de théorie du droit.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais seule
 ment] Jeremy Bentham writes of “Injustice\, and her handmaid\, Falsehood”\
 ; and the metaphor rings true. Substantive justice is possible only if the
 re is such a thing as factual truth\; if such truth is objective\, not sim
 ply a matter of what anyone\, or everyone\, believes\; and if it is often 
 enough possible for us to figure out what the truth of a disputed matter o
 f fact is. This last point in turn requires that there be objective standa
 rds of better and worse evidence\; and that the fact that the evidence wit
 h respect to a claim is\, by these standards\, good be at least a fallible
  indication of the likely truth of the claim in question. Unless these pre
 suppositions are true\, the whole idea of legal proof-procedures would be 
 a kind of cruel farce. Even if these assumptions are true\, however\, if l
 egal proof-procedures are to be more than judicial theater they need to be
  capable of arriving\, often enough\, at factually correct verdicts.\n\nIn
  the first part of her lecture\, Prof. Haack argues that these presupposit
 ions are indeed true\; in the second part\, however\, as she explores the 
 competence of common-law evidentiary procedures to produce true verdicts a
 nd briefly contrasts them with civil-law procedures\, she expresses doubt 
 that\, in practice\, they succeed as often as we would like.\n\nLa confére
 ncière\n\n[En anglais seulement] Susan Haack (B.A.\, M.A.\, B.Phil.\, Oxfo
 rd\; Ph.D.\, Cambridge) is Distinguished Professor in the Humanities\, Coo
 per Senior Scholar in Arts and Sciences\, Professor of Philosophy\, and Pr
 ofessor of Law at the University of Miami. She teaches both in the College
  of Arts and Sciences and in the School of Law.\n\nHer work ranges from ph
 ilosophy of logic and language\, epistemology\, metaphysics\, philosophy o
 f science\, Pragmatism—both philosophical and legal—and the law of evidenc
 e\, especially scientific evidence\, to social philosophy\, feminism\, and
  philosophy of literature.\n\n \n\n \n
