Mining In Irian Jaya: How Citizens Should Think About Environmental Justice, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer
Mining In Irian Jaya: How Citizens Should Think About Environmental Justice, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer
Faculty Scholarship
"All around me are the facts of my life. But I can't see them, because the way I think gets in the way." I am making a case for environmental justice. We'll explore how questioning our lives and actions helps us grasp environmental justice. I believe environmental justice calls many of us to conceive of our lives in new ways so that we can become true ecological citizens. First, relations between humans and lands need to be articulated, and we need to think of our lives in spatially, temporally and ecologically extended ways. This paper is intended initially as an …
Kierkegaard As An Enlightenment Thinker, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer
Kierkegaard As An Enlightenment Thinker, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer
Faculty Scholarship
What if Kierkegaard were not a counter-Enlightenment thinker, but were a deeper enlightenment thinker? In this talk, I want to propose an interpretation of S.K.’s work under which he continues the Enlightenment, rather than discontinuing it. I will claim that Kierkegaard deepened and advanced one of the most central aspects of “enlightenment”, at least as Kant and the subsequent tradition has defined it. Kierkegaard was an enlightenment thinker (lower case “e”!), and therefore it is misleading to see him as opposed to the heart of the Enlightenment (upper case “e”).
Personal Practical Conflicts, Joseph Raz
Personal Practical Conflicts, Joseph Raz
Faculty Scholarship
This preliminary reflection about practical conflicts confronting single agents does little to solve the problems conflicts create. Rather, it attempts to explain what conflicts are and what questions they raise. I suggest that we have two distinct notions of single-agent conflicts reflecting two distinct theoretical questions. The first concerns the possibility of there being a right action in conflict situations. It is the question of whether and, if so, how reasons deriving from different concerns or affecting different people can be of comparable strengths. The second concerns a sense that there is something unfortunate about conflicts and that when facing …
Render Copyright Unto Caesar: On Taking Incentives Seriously, Wendy J. Gordon
Render Copyright Unto Caesar: On Taking Incentives Seriously, Wendy J. Gordon
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay suggests we bifurcate our thinking. Conventional copyright rules by money, so let it rule the money-bound. Let a different set of rules evolve for more complex uses, particularly when the users have a personal relationship with the utilized text. Much recent scholarship contains dramatic suggestions to secure a freedom to be creative, rewrite, and be imaginative. My work has long sought to defend such freedoms, but I believe we understand imagination and its conditions too little to employ it as a starting point. I suggest instead that we acquire a better conceptual map of the generative process and …
