Sir William Jones

In 1784-9 Sir William Jones, then a Supreme Court Judge in Bengal, wrote nine ‘Hymns’ to Hindu deities. In examining one of the ‘Hymns’ – ‘A Hymn to Súrya’ – in more detail, this article maintains that Jones uses the hymnal form as a means of cultural translation, transposing the religious and cultural significance of Vedanta Hinduism poetically into an accessible and uncompromised form. With an emphasis on Jones’ early poetic criticism and his personal fondness for the Hindu religion, this article demonstrates how Jones employs the hymnal form in order to reach a poetic, religious, and cultural ‘original’ through translation.

Sir William Jones

Oriental mysticism, religion, and science are all intertwined with literature; while proven to be fantastic for many scholars, this intermixture has made it challenging to extract mystical concepts from poetry. This difficulty has been one of the earliest sources of conflict between Oriental literary scholars, religious figures, and mystics. The situation becomes more complex should one attempt to compare Oriental mysticism with its Occidental counterpart. Arguably, the first Western scholar who conducted such a rigorous comparison was Sir William Jones (1746–1794), a linguist, translator, and poet who was also a Supreme Court Judge in Calcutta. His fascination with Persian mystical poets such as Rumi (1210-1273), Sadi (1210-1292), and Hafez (1315-1390) drove him towards Sufism. Due to his understanding of Persian mysticism and culture, Jones became one of the best interpreters of Indo-Persian literature. His works, founded on his fascination with Persian language and literature, gained him the title of ‘Persian Jones’ and established his international reputation as an Orientalist. Jones’s publications highly impacted Romantic scholars, developing sympathetic representations of the Orient in the period’s literature. Jones’s works, letters, Persian manuscripts, and the annotations he made on them have not been examined for his Persian mystical studies before this thesis. Therefore, this PhD research will investigate his works and library on Sufism and his comparative study of mystical schools. It intends to analyse Jones’s findings in his comparative mystical studies and elaborate on his understanding of Sufism. This thesis investigates his essays, letters, and annotations in various texts; such texts are mainly available in the Royal Asiatic Society archives and the British Library’s India Office Records and Private Papers. Moreover, in some cases, Jones has altered his English translations of Persianate Sufi texts; these alterations will be examined and compared with the original texts to demonstrate Jones’s rationale behind them. This research will pursue the accuracy of Jones’s interpretation of Sufism and Hinduism. In addition, it examines his development of the interpretations of Oriental mysticism, which he presented to eighteenth-century Europe. The findings of this research will contribute to the growing literature on Orientalism and shed a brighter light on the works of Sir William Jones and Indo-Persian literature and mysticism.

This chapter focuses on the early 1990s judicial pursuit of Manuel Contreras and Pedro Espinoza, now both retired yet protected by the military even after the return to democracy. The mysterious “Liliana Walker” is discovered to be a former escort called Mónica Lagos living quietly in Santiago. Lagos confirms the story told years earlier Armando Fernández, which allows the re-opening of the case in Chilean courts. Judicial reforms and the arrival of a new Supreme Court judge, Adolfo Bañados, results in the indictment of Contreras and Espinoza. They are found guilty in 1993, but they appeal.

Early Aspects

The discussion of surveillance invariably leads to an assessment of the idea of privacy. This is a construct that has been widely debated over time, with some of the early aspects of privacy taking shape in Britain. Later, a Supreme Court judge in America argued for privacy as the right to be “left alone.” Over time, the concept has seen transformations with the focus on defining what aspects of the narrative can be considered to be protected. Eventually, every context of surveillance such as I2P and P2I has slightly different considerations of privacy.

Plessy vs. Ferguson is a legal decision made by the United States Supreme Court upholding the constitutionality of ‘separate but equal’ laws popular in the post-Civil War South. In June 1892 Homer Plessy, a man with one-eighth African blood, was arrested for violating Louisiana’s ‘equal but separate’ clause when he sat in a railway car designated for white passengers. Louisiana district court judge, Justice John Howard Ferguson, upheld the arrest, claiming a state had the legal power to regulate railroads operating within its borders.

Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) is an institution authorized to handle unfair business competition violation. In fact, in several KPPU decisions it was revealed that KPPU prioritizes indirect evidence in handling cartel cases in Indonesia. KPPU's decision is not final and binding. Business actors who do not accept the decision of KPPU may file an objection at the District Court. The parties who do not accept the decision of the district court, may file an appeal in the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia. The type of research is used in this research is normative legal research, that is research done by reviewing the rules of law applicable or applied to a certain legal problem. The result of the research shows that in the Supreme Court appeal, KPPU's decision was upheld and canceled by Supreme Court to KPPU's decision uses indirect evidence in handling cartel case. The basis of consideration of the Supreme Court Justices ruling the KPPU's decision in the case of the tire cartel and the cement cartel is the Chief Justice accepting and acknowledging the indirect evidence as valid evidence, since the evidence is sufficient and logical evidence, and there is no evidence the more powerful that can weaken the indirect evidence. While the consideration of the Supreme Court Judge overturning the KPPU's decision in the case of cartel fuel surcharger is not accepting and acknowledging indirect evidence as valid evidence, because the evidence is insufficient and illogical, and there is stronger evidence that can weaken the tool indirect evidence
