Evidence, Argument, and Reason in an Era of „Post-Truth“ Politics and Law
Professor Scott Brewer will present a lecture on the topic of the relation between evidence and reason in a world of “post truth” politics and law. The Enlightenment project sought to place reason at the center of understanding both the world and the human being. On this view, evidence was an essential tool of reasoned understanding – evidence from the world, from the study of humans’ political and social existence, and from introspection of the human mind itself. But this faith in reason and reasoned evidence became, and remains, deeply shaken. In part, this shaken faith was enabled by the work of three great Doubters: Nietzsche (who taught that we should be suspicious of our religious, moral, and political beliefs and actions),…

Privatdozentin Dr. iur. Viola Heutger – Konsumentenschutz unter der Tropensonne: Das Kaufrecht der überseeischen Gebietsteile des Königreichs der Niederlande
Die ehemaligen kolonisierten Inseln in der Karibik und heutigen überseeischen Gebietsteile des Königreichs der Niederlande waren mehrere Jahrzehnte ein Staat mit dem Namen Niederländische Antillen. Zuerst folgte der Austritt von Aruba aus dem Inselverbund und 2010 kam eine grosse Staatsreform. Nun sind Curacao, Aruba und Sint Maarten eigene Staaten im Königreich der Niederlande und für die drei kleineren, sogenannten BES-Inseln, Bonaire, Sint Eustachius und Saba, wurde ein eigener Status geschaffen. Jede dieser Einheiten kennt ein eigenes Zivilgesetzbuch. Die Inseln sind aber kein Teil der Europäischen Union und somit ist auch keine Umsetzung des acquis communautaire nötig. Das Verbraucherrecht ist daher sehr unterschiedlich auf den Inseln. Verbraucherschutzorganisationen sind noch im Entstehen. Nur Aruba ist Mitglied des UN-Kaufrechts geworden. Das Statut für…

Prof. Dr. Dr. Jens M. Scherpe – Men giving birth, children with three parents, and other future family law problems
Family law for a long time was only centred on one particular family unit: a man and a woman united in (indissoluble) marriage, and with children. But we now live in a world where marriages often end in divorce; where categories of gender are not as fixed as they used to be and legal men can give birth to children; where children are not necessarily genetically related to their birthparents or indeed may have three genetic parents, and even more social parents. The law has been too slow to react to societal changes and medical advances, and these issues need to be dealt with as a matter of urgency.

Prof. HUO – The Latest Development of Chinese Private International Law
The past decade has witnessed an amazing acceleration in the development of private international law legislation in China as well as a signicant progress in the quality thereof. In 2010, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress adopted China’s rst statute on private international law (Private International Law Act). The adoption of the Act is a historic event in Chinese legislative history, as it indicates that China has modernised its conflict of law rules after many years of unremitting eorts made by legislators and scholars. Moreover, the Supreme People’s Court of the PRC promulgated an Interpretation (I) of the Private International Law Act in 2013. The Interpretation (I) attempts to provide concrete explanations on the abstract articles mainly in Chapter…
