Cosmopolitan Globalism And Human Community, Jeff Noonan Jan 2006

Cosmopolitan Globalism And Human Community, Jeff Noonan

Philosophy Publications

This article argues that the normative foundations and political implications of David Held's cosmopolitan social democracy are insufficient as solutions to the moral and social problems he criticizes. The article develops a life-grounded alternative critique of globalization that roots our ethical duties towards each other in consciousness of our shared needs and capabilities. These ethical duties are best realized in political projects aimed at fundamental long-term transformations in the principles that govern major socio-economic institutions.


Perelman, Informal Logic And The Historicity Of Reason, Christopher Tindale Jan 2006

Perelman, Informal Logic And The Historicity Of Reason, Christopher Tindale

Philosophy Publications

In a posthumous paper, Perelman discusses his decision to bring his theory of argumentation together with rhetoric rather than calling it an informal logic. This is due in part because of the centrality he gives to audience, and in part because of the negative attitude that informal logicians have to rhetoric. In this paper, I explore both of these concerns by way of considering what benefits Perelman’s work can have for informal logic, and what insights the work of informal logicians might bring to the project of Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca.
