Az Emberi Tudat Eredete, Milan Meszaros

Milan Meszaros physicist

Az emberi lét földi kiterjeszthetõségének vannak ugyan bizonyos formai feltételei, de ezek nem azonosak az emberi lét feltételeivel. Így az ember szellemi fejlõdése az elemi tudati folyamatokban végbemenõ szimmetriasértéssel több dimenzióssá válhat. A nem földi alapú tudati mûködésünk így felveti a következõ kérdéseket. Hogyan és miért került a tudat (a szellem) a Földre? Honnan származik értelmünk? Azonban, a „Honnan jöttünk? - Kik vagyunk? - Hova megyünk? probléma tudományos, felelõs és igényes megoldás-keresõinek tisztában kell lenniük azzal, hogy még csak tudásunknak a gyermekkorában vagyunk, és így a múltról való tudás (a történelem) is gyorsan fog változni.

James M. Donovan

As Christopher Bobonich (1993, p. S92) reminds us, “The idea of basing an ethical theory on human nature has attracted Western philosophers from the very beginning of philosophical reflection on ethics.” Unfortunately many philosophers have not kept apace with the best research in the empirical disciplines exploring that topic, with the result that their works contain more impractical idealism than they intend. In order to ensure the soundness and persuasiveness of their ethical conclusions, philosophers should routinely confront the relevant social scientific literature and situate their initial assumptions within that corpus. Before expounding on how humans ought to live, the …

A Foundation For Transnational Obligations, James M. Donovan

James M. Donovan

Human rights have, over the last fifty years, risen to the forefront of foreign relations. Whereas Marx could refer them as the “so-called human rights,” few today would be so bold as to question the cogency of the category itself. Despite this pervasive influence, the concept of human rights sits uneasily with other deeply-entrenched categories, not least being the sovereign state. Without some ethical reconciliation between these two, enforcement of these rights will remain opportunistic.

Some will argue that, just as the rights are predicated on the universal concept of the human, the mechanisms for their enforcement should also be …
