Lawyers’ strategies for gender equality in divorce negotiations
In divorces by mutual consent, the negotiation of the divorce agreement between spouses and their lawyers plays a crucial role in shaping the socioeconomic consequences of divorce. However, the interpretation of gender equality in divorce law remains contested. Lawyers must navigate tensions between their professional rationality, the legal framework, and the gendered organisation of the family. This study explores how Swiss lawyers interpret and…
Gender (in)equality in divorce in Switzerland: Lawyers’ formal-egalitarian vs. compensatory interpretations
While family law in Western countries has changed dramatically in recent decades towards the ideal of gender equality, many inequalities remain with regard to the gendered outcomes of separation and divorce.

The Romantic Conception of Life and the Marxist Conception of History
The mystery of life has intrigued man's mind from the beginning, as his earliest ideas and beliefs show. Some men, indeed, have been so fascinated as to make it the focal point of all human experience and to see in it the basic type of reality on which everything else is modelled or to which, at least, it is ordered. There is, of course, one field in which such notions as 'life', 'soul' and 'organism' have a particularly powerful attraction, name…
