This chapter discusses the structure of the Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMTs), which conducted the twelve NMT trials. Section 1 examines Ordinance No. 7, the military directive that established the NMT and specified its evidentiary and procedural rules. Section 2 explores the structure and funding of the tribunals' prosecutorial wing, Telford Taylor's OCC. Section 3 focuses on the Military Tribunals themselves — their location; the structure and function of their administrative section, the Central Secretariat; and the selection of judges. The chapter also begins the discussion of the significant effect the Cold War had on the trials by examining the allegations made by American senators that the OCC was overrun by communists — allegations that were often based on thinly-veiled anti-Semitism.Less

This chapter proposes a review of the major analyses of Husserlian phenomenology in order to show how this renews the questions of the Ontological Constitution of Cognition (OCC), the Epistemological Constitution of Cognitive Science: Phenomenology, Enaction, and Technology (ECCS), and their relation. On this basis, it proposes a new view of the possible relations between phenomenology and cognitive science, quite different from the “naturalization of phenomenology.” The work of the Perceptual Supplementation Group at the Technological University of Compiegne is used here as a figure of speech to show how taking into account the proposition above can renew the relation between phenomenology and contemporary cognitive science, where the two are clearly differentiated from each other while sources of mutual stimulation are also provided for each.Less

Robust law enforcement is crucial to a fair market. Companies that lie, cheat, or steal take advantage of consumers and the honest companies that they compete against. Congress gave the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau two powerful tools to combat fraudulent, deceptive, and abusive practices by big banks and financial predators. One was the authority to bring public enforcement actions against corporate violators, and the other was to send supervisory teams into the companies themselves, to inspect and monitor how they treat consumers. This chapter tells how the bureau developed and combined these tools and then used them to put over $12 billion back in the pockets of consumers who had been wronged. It also discusses how the bureau used supervisory oversight and enforcement actions to prevent or halt systematic ongoing abuses such as deceptive marketing of credit card add-on products and discriminatory auto lending.Less
