I am a Senior Lecturer at Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies in Barbados where I teach Jurisprudence, Comparative Law, Advanced Legal Writing, and the Law of Real Property (Common Law and mixed jurisdictions). I received my first Ph.D. degree in law from the Institute for State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences for a thesis on Bentham's jurisprudence and the second Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh for a thesis “Reception of the French Civil Code in Francophone Switzerland, Louisiana and Quebes: a Socio-Legal Study”. I did a postdoctoral research in the history of Quebec civil law at Université Laval. I am interested in the history of codification, history of property law, legal systems of the Caribbean, and Bentham studies. Supervisors: John W. Cairns, Paul du Plessis, Sylvio Normand, and Olivier Moreteau

One can call such disciplinary perception and construction a special world picture of a discipline. In various ways the appropriate concept had been considered by Sir Isaac Newton, Immanuel Kant, the Humboldt brothers, Dilthey, Martin Heidegger, and others. Depending on different modes of scientific rationality, the world picture can be seen as the object, subject, or aim of a scientific discipline. In any case, even if not explicitly stated, this construction is a core issue of any discipline. In law, various (sub)disciplines such as legal philosophy, legal theory, and comparative law have developed sundry (albeit often mutually influenced) interpretations of the world. One could argue that there has been competition between the (sub)disciplines for the right or the possibility to define a world picture generally valid for discourse about law. The book is intended to create an awareness of the fundamental experience and potential that comparative law possesses when conceptualizing the “legal”. Relying on its rich experience, comparative law is well positioned to take into account current developments in the field when (re-)defining its world picture, in order to conceptualize perceptions of law in a truly global perspective. The chapters herein, for the first time presenting the complex philosophical and historical vision of the world picture of law developed in comparative law (comparative jurisprudence), is considered by American, Cypriot, Italian, Moldovan, and Ukrainian scholars – Oleksiy Kresin, Mehman A. Damirli, Matteo Nicolini, Oleg Halabudenko, James Gordley, Michele Graziadei, Marco Giraudo, Oleksandr and Denys Tykhomyrov, Oleksandr Tkachenko. The second group of articles presents a vision of the spaces of legal ordering and legal interactions as addressed by American, Belarus, Italian, Mexican, Romanian, Ukrainian, and Uzbek researchers – Akmal Saidov, Aleksei Egorov, Hashmatulla Behruz, Serhiy Rabinovych, William E. Butler, Evhen Kharytonov, Olena Kharytonova, Manuel Gutan, Carmelo Massimo De Iuliis, and Jorge A. Sánchez Cordero. Finally, the third block is dedicated to the issue of implementation of the elaborated comparative legal world picture in academia and legal practice: articles by scholars from Canada, Hungary, Romania, United Kingdom, and the West Indies – Geoffrey Samuel, Alexandra Mercescu, Csaba Varga, Catherine Valcke, and Asya Ostroukh.
