Altruism, Impartiality And Moral Demands, Jurgen De Wispelaere
Altruism, Impartiality And Moral Demands, Jurgen De Wispelaere
Jurgen De Wispelaere
Advocates of altruism maintain that altruism is an inherently beneficial and, therefore, morally desirable motivational disposition towards furthering other people’s good. In this paper I dispute this claim by showing various ways in which altruism might come into conflict with plausible moral demands. The underlying problem is always one of moral myopia, an altruistic blind spot that interferes with altruism’s capacity to track moral demands. To resolve the moral dilemmas associated with altruism, I argue, we need to embed altruistic dispositions in a more comprehensive moral framework. I propose that a theory of impartiality might succeed in embedding altruism in …

Bishop Connop Thirlwall: Historian Of Ancient Greece, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Bishop Connop Thirlwall: Historian Of Ancient Greece, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
The purpose of this article is to revisit and reappraise Connop Thirlwall’s much-neglected 8-volume History of Greece (London, 1835-1844). It is shown that the historical work of the great classicist and theologian represents the practical embodiment of the spirit of transition between partisan and “scientific”, as called at the time, historiography. Constituting a bridge between the old and the new, and having fulfilled its role, Thirlwall’s work was destined to sink into oblivion, virtually obscured in the shadow of George Grote’s Greece.
A 'Legend' In Crisis: The Debate Over Plato's Politics, 1930-1960, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
A 'Legend' In Crisis: The Debate Over Plato's Politics, 1930-1960, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
From the early 1930s to the early 1960s many scholars, whether liberal-minded or socialist ideologues, Marxist or scientific positivists, classical scholars or political theorists and historians, have shown a widespread consensus in discrediting and assailing the man and political philosopher Plato. Such an extensive assault led the ‘Platonic Legend’ to an unprecedented crisis. Philosophically, it was a reaction to the undisguised Platonolatry coming from Oxford and the school of the British Idealists. Ideologically, the appropriation of Plato by Nazi apologists fostered further this vehement indictment. But a lot of other causes worked to the same effect. The general anguish and …

Faculty Diversity, Kyle Scafide, Barbara Johnson
Kyle Scafide
This article presents a broad view of issues related to faculty diversity. Headings include Demographics, The Growth of Faculty Diversity as an Ideal, and Barriers in the Academic Workplace. Race, ethnicity, and gender are the most common characteristics that institutions observe in order to measure faculty diversity. An even broader approach to faculty diversity involves age, socioeconomic background, national origin, sexual orientation, and diverse learning styles and opinions. Until the latter part of the twentieth century, the professoriate in the western world was composed almost exclusively of privileged, heterosexual males of Caucasian descent. Higher education institutions are generally concerned with …

The Research Subject As Wage Earner, James Anderson, Charles Weijer
The Research Subject As Wage Earner, James Anderson, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
The practice of paying research subjects for participating in clinical trials has yet to receive an adequate moral analysis. Dickert and Grady argue for a wage payment model in which research subjects are paid an hourly wage based on that of unskilled laborers. If we accept this approach, what follows? Norms for just working conditions emerge from workplace legislation and political theory. All workers, including paid research subjects under Dickert and Grady's analysis, have a right to at least minimum wage, a standard work week, extra pay for overtime hours, a safe workplace, no fault compensation for work-related injury, and …

Lessons From Everyday Lives: A Moral Justification For Acute Care Research, Andrew Mcrae, Charles Weijer
Lessons From Everyday Lives: A Moral Justification For Acute Care Research, Andrew Mcrae, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
Progress in emergency and critical care requires that clinical research be performed on patients who are incapable of granting consent for research participation. Analyses of the ethics of such research have left some questions incompletely answered. Why should we be permitted to expose vulnerable patients to research risks without their consent? In particular, how do we justify research interventions that have no potential benefit for participants (nontherapeutic interventions)? This article presents a moral justification for nontherapeutic interventions in emergency research. By relying on a framework for assessing research risks, and by drawing on the example of pediatric research, this justification …

Gifts For The Soul: A Guided Journey Of Discovery, Transformation, And Infinite Possibilities (Book Author, Dawn E. Clark; Book Reviewer, Carroy Ferguson)), Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
Dawn E. Clark's Gifts for the Soul is an intriguing self-help book, full of promise and hope for a new way to engage in self-healing and what the author calls soul healing through soul retrieval work. According to the author, the ancient healing tradition of soul retrieval to heal soul loss has been documented by many cultural anthropologists. The tradition apparently has been traced to a belief in the ancient concept of soul loss, embraced by many civilizations and diverse cultures in North America, Australia, Asia, South America and the shaman tradition as far back as 10,000 years ago. Soul …

Foucault À Luz De Heidegger: Notas Sobre O Sujeito Autônomo E O Sujeito Constituído, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Foucault À Luz De Heidegger: Notas Sobre O Sujeito Autônomo E O Sujeito Constituído, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Andre de Macedo Duarte
Partindo da distinção informal proposta por Foucault entre os filósofos sobre os quais ele escreveu, e aqueles a partir de cuja leitura ele orientou seu próprio pensamento, pretendo mostrar que a filosofia de Heidegger permite iluminar certos aspectos difíceis e problemáticos do pensamento foucaultiano, sobretudo aqueles relativos ao seu derradeiro interesse pela constituição ética do ‘si mesmo’ autônomo. O problema que cumpre discutir aqui reside em que nos textos das fases arqueológica e genealógica, Foucault tornara-se célebre por demonstrar a constituição do ‘homem’ por uma trama de discursos de saber e de relações poder, em análises que desmontaram impiedosamente as …

Thomas Kuhn E A Psicossociologia Da Pesquisa Científica, Paulo S. Peres
Paulo S. Peres
O objetivo deste texto é introduzir alguns elementos analíticos básicos para uma reflexão acerca da Filosofia das Ciências de Thomas Kuhn e de sua proposição de uma nova historiografia científica. Para isso, são discutidos sua concepção acerca da atividade científica, seus conceitos principais [paradigma, ciência normal, anomalia científica, revolução científica, comunidade, etc.] e as conseqüências epistemológicas advindas de sua discussão positiva.

Paulo S. Peres
O objetivo do texto é discutir algumas das propostas centrais da epistemologia de Karl Popper. Para isso, serão tratados dois conjuntos de problemas. Em primeiro lugar, serão abordadas a questão da indução e a concepção de ciência associada à preferência por esse método. Em segundo lugar, serão discutidas as observações centrais que o autor fez a respeito do problema da indução e a falha lógica e metodológica do indutivismo na demarcação da ciência.

Straf(Begrip) En Procesbeginsel. (Meaning And Concept Of Punishment And The Principle Of Trial Before Punishment), Mireille Hildebrandt
Mireille Hildebrandt
Deze dissertatie gaat in op de consensuele - althans buitengerechtelijke - afdoening van strafzaken als instrument voor het terugdringen van het tekort in de rechtshandhaving. De vraag is of, en zo ja in hoeverre consensuele punitieve rechtshandhaving een bijdrage kan leveren aan het terugdringen van dit tekort. Deze vraag vormt de aanleiding tot een grondslagenonderzoek naar straf en strafbegrip en naar de relatie met het procesbeginsel. Straf en strafbegrip worden benaderd vanuit rechtshistorisch en rechtsantropologisch perspectief en vergeleken met de punitieve rechtshandhaving in de Oudgermaanse niet-statelijke samenleving. De rode draad vormt een aan Glastra van Loon ontleend rechtsnormbegrip dat - …
