Analogical Reasoning As Translation: The Pragmatics Of Transitivity, Jonathan Yovel
Analogical Reasoning As Translation: The Pragmatics Of Transitivity, Jonathan Yovel
Jonathan Yovel
This paper attempts to examine the underlying structure of analogical reasoning in decision making. The immediate (but not exclusive) context is the form of reasoning commonly seen as prevalent in common-law judicial decision making. Following Wittgenstein and Strawson the paper identifies the problem of the contingency of transitivity of analogical relations as a serious impediment to analogical reasoning. It then proceeds to offer a method of translation that delineates the borders of contingency and analyticity of transitivity in such cases, as well as proposes how these borders may be manipulated. The theoretical insight is to treat analogical relations anaphorically, as …
What Is Contract Law 'About'? Speech Act Theory And A Critique Of 'Skeletal Promises', Jonathan Yovel
What Is Contract Law 'About'? Speech Act Theory And A Critique Of 'Skeletal Promises', Jonathan Yovel
Jonathan Yovel
What is contract law about? One way of looking at it is to conceive of the subject-matter of contract law in terms of promises - just as tort law arguably revolves around the concepts of accident or harm. Much like accidents - first-year law students are taught - promises are out there in the world, to be classified and distinguished so as to privilege some with legal enforceability. There is a language/world of promises, this approach seems to indicate, and a language/world of contracts. It is a main function of contract law to perform translations from the one to the …

The Numinous And Modernity: An Interpretation Of Rudolf Otto's Philosophy Of Religion, Todd Gooch
The Numinous And Modernity: An Interpretation Of Rudolf Otto's Philosophy Of Religion, Todd Gooch
Todd Gooch
The author traces the development of Rudolf Otto’s attempt to construct a normative science of religion. This should respond to concerns facing Protestant theologians in Germany at the turn of the century. Moreover, he examines the reception of Otto’s ideas after World War One. The volume contains name and subject indexes.

The Baldwin Effect: An Archeology, David Depew
The Baldwin Effect: An Archeology, David Depew
David J Depew
Abstract: “The Baldwin effect” stands for a wide variety of ways in which learn ing can be conceived as guiding adap tive evolution ary change. An analysis of the history of this notion reveals that it does not reliably refer either to a theory-neutral empirical phenomenon or to a single theoretical hypothesis. On the contrary, articulations of the general idea depend on distinctive, but in commensurable, theoretical backgrounds. In reconstructing the conceptual history of the Baldwin effect I hope to support contemporary explorations of idea by encouraging the articulation of new theoretical frameworks in which it might make sense. I …
The Ethical Analysis Of Risks And Potential Benefits In Human Subjects Research: History, Theory, And Implications For U.S. Regulation, Charles Weijer
The Ethical Analysis Of Risks And Potential Benefits In Human Subjects Research: History, Theory, And Implications For U.S. Regulation, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
This paper addresses three questions central to the ethical analysis of risks and potential benefits in human subjects research:
1. How was the ethical analysis of risk understood by the members of the U.S. National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research (National Commission)?
2. What conceptual framework should guide the ethical analysis of risk?
3. What changes to U.S. regulations would the implementation of such a framework require?

Integrity And Politics, Damian Cox
Integrity And Politics, Damian Cox
Damian Cox
Extract:
Integrity is the virtue par excellence of the professional politician. It is the virtue a politician is apt to hold most precious; a virtue they are likely to defend above all others. To cast doubt upon the courage, foresight, knowledge, wisdom, compassion or good-sense of a contemporary politician is one thing, to cast doubt upon their integrity is quite another. Indeed, it seems that no professional politician working in a contemporary liberal democracy can afford to allow a credible slur on their integrity to go unanswered.
The concept of integrity is obviously central to our conception of a properly …

Scepticism And The Interpreter, Damian Cox
Scepticism And The Interpreter, Damian Cox
Damian Cox
This paper defends an argument from interpretation against the possibility of massive error. The argument shares many important features with Donald Davidson’s famous argument, but also key differences. I defend the argument against claims that it begs the question against scepticism and that it leaves the sceptic with an obvious means of escape.

Relationships And Universal Energy Laws, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
Relationships are our most intense forms of "mirrors" in the world. They show us in direct and indirect ways how we are using our personal energy systems in what I call our three life spaces. They show us how we consciously and unconsciously employ what some authors have called Universal Energy Laws (see attached descriptions of these laws) to co-create the quality of our relationships. Whether or not we "attract" and/or deal with relationships in conscious or subconscious ways, what I call the "mirror effect" is reflected in our three life spaces—personal life space, societal life space, and global life …
