Much research has been devoted to different aspects of Maimonides’ work. Despite the abundance of research on Maimonides\, very little has b een written about Maimonides as a jurist in general\, and about his tort t heory in particular.\n\nThis research presents\, for the first time\, Maim onides’ complete tort theory in and of itself. This research compares Maim onides’ theory with other pre-modern tort theories both in the Jewish worl d and beyond it\, in Maimonides’ times and prior thereto\, and as compared with modern Western theories. The study will present both the details of the rulings relating to tort\, and will seek to establish a rational\, sys tematic legal theory – a theory that allows for a full presentation and ov erview of Maimonides’ comprehensive conception of tort law\, its objective s\, and its foundations.\n\nWe will mention several surprising points of s imilarity between certain elements of the theories that were formulated by the cream of the scholars from leading North American universities and be tween significant elements of the Maimonidean theory that was conceived ei ght hundred years ago in Egypt. Alongside the similarity between the theor ies\, we will highlight significant differences\, some of them deriving fr om jurisprudential differences\, some from the difference between religiou s law and secular-liberal law\, and some from the differences in the histo rical\, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.\n DTSTART:20160202T180000Z DTEND:20160202T193000Z LOCATION:Salle de conférence Stephen Scott (OCDH 16)\, Pavillon Chancellor- Day\, CA\, QC\, Montréal\, H3A 1W9\, 3644\, rue Peel SUMMARY:Maimonides and Contemporary Tort Theory: Law\, Religion\, Economics and Morality URL:/law/fr/channels/event/maimonides-and-contemporary -tort-theory-law-religion-economics-and-morality-257777 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
