Validity in evaluation: where is the argument-based approach heading?

The evolution of the concept of validity is examined in the context of the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence and ethical stances, and with it, informed decision-making. The methodology used includes the history of concepts as laid out by Koselleck, analyzing how the concept of validity is a fundamental concept. The method used is a literature review, analyzing historical and contemporary perspectives and arguments from influential authors such as Messick and Kane. This conceptual journey leads us to recognize that validity is not a monolithic entity, but a complex fabric of multiple theoretical and practical threads, ranging from the internal logic of evaluations to the repercussions of their application in society. Furthermore, validity is recognized as a complex construct that cannot be simplified to a single aspect or characteristic of a test or evaluation, differentiating between validity and validation. The five historical periods distinguished in the literature that reflect paradigmatic changes in the understanding of validity were: gestational, crystallization, fragmentation, reunification, deconstruction, culminating with the period of diffusion. The most relevant conclusion is that validity is not static but dynamic, evolving with context and application. It also emphasizes the need for continuous validation adapted to emerging challenges, such as Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), with the goal of ensuring that evaluations are accurate and fair amid a growing trend on ideas of quantum computing.

V. Aufbruch in die Moderne? Der Humanismus und die Jurisprudenz des 16. Jahrhunderts

Summary The article discusses the notion of ‘legal humanism’, i.e. the encounter between jurisprudence and fundamental ideas of Renaissance humanists. Legal historians are fundamentally divided over the impact of humanistic thought on legal development. While some influential authors regard the insights and ideas of Renaissance humanists as largely irrelevant to legal thinking, others identify a group of ‘legal humanists’ and describe them as modernisers whose innovative forms of ‘humanistic’ legal thinking initiated developments that ultimately led to modern law. In view of this debate, the article analyses writings of Valla, Budé, Zasius, Alciato and other humanists in their historical contexts. It will be shown that these authors cannot be properly described as ‘modernisers’ as they did not advance new ideas that transformed legal thinking. Nevertheless, the conceptions of time and the philological insights of Renaissance humanism irritated established forms of scholastic legal thinking and made jurists reflect on their scholarship. The new forms of legal thinking that emerged from those 16th-century discussions did not make use of specifically humanistic, philological techniques, but should rather be seen as specifically legal responses to the humanistic irritation.
