This doctoral thesis, which has gained three prizes (Law Faculty of the University of Nancy, University of Lorraine and Lorraine Region), assesses the potential of EU law to harmonize or to unify the judicial treatment of foreign law within the Member States.

Written in French, with a summary in English, this book is a very useful instrument for law practitioners (judges, attorneys, civil servants), students and academics.

This paper deals with practical aspects of cryptocurrencies, including the legal framework and instruments, but also with the underlying philosophical or political approaches that motivate creators of cryptocurrencies. These motivations are diverse. A feature common to most of them is the idea of a decentralized financial ecosystem, without(or with a strongly reduced role of) intermediaries and organizations that fulfill centralizing functions (notablybanks):as a consequence, power is distributed and autonomy increased. For some, the philosophical source is a form of anarchism or of democratism;for others, it is a critical analysis of the economy, in particular of the situation of governmental currencies and of the fundamental inflationary potential resulting from contemporary monetary policies (like, in technical terms, quantitative easing, or, with a more polemic tone, currency debasing).

Identifying the philosophical approaches - or several of them - is useful from many points of view, as this also enables to understand in a deeper way numerous technical and practical questions.

In the present monograph, the formal philosophy of science, its two components, conceptology, and methodology, as well as 21 varieties of special philosophy of science, are considered in a systematic theoretical form.

All theories are interpreted within the framework of the main philosophical directions of modernity, in particular, analytical philosophy, hermeneutics, poststructuralism, phenomenology, and critical rationalism. An original theory of intratheoretical and intertheoretical transduction is developed and ethical representations are widely used. Exceptional attention is paid to the transdisciplinary approach, as well as the conceptual development of pluralism in modern science and the fullness of scientific knowledge.

The book is one-of-a-kind in the modern literature. It is intended for researchers, university professors, graduate students and undergraduates.

In the present book, the author analyzes the problems of preventing illegal behavior and neutralizing the impact of the criminal subculture, as well as examines some issues related to the effectiveness of punishment measures associated with the isolation of criminals from society from the point of view of the modern ethology achievements.
