L'attualismo e il suo autore. Prospettive per la ricerca futura su Gentile
2018
This article describes the recent reception of Giovanni Gentile and his doctrine of actualism, describing the philosopher's rehabilitation as a major Italian thinker and actualism as a provocative account of socially situated consciousness. The discussion then turns to the future of Gentile studies, focusing on ways in which the ahistorical methods of analytic philosophy might help restore actualism and its author to their proper place in the philosophical canon.
De quoi le Covid-19 est-il le nom ? L’impact du langage sur la prise en charge et le positionnement éthique par temps de pandémie
2020
Résumé L’irruption massive de l’expression Covid-19 dans le milieu hospitalier comme dans nos vies a fait apparaître une étrange analogie entre l’expansion d’un virus et la dissémination virale, elle aussi, d’une manière de parler, de formuler et de nommer pour agir. Cet article se propose de questionner l’impact de l’expression Covid-19 sur le langage des soignants. Il propose de discuter la dimension éthique d’un soin des mots du soin lorsqu’une manière de parler s’impose à eux. Il interroge également le pluralisme épistémologique et éthique engageant la médecine entre science, clinique et politique.
Planning Research Ethics
2015
This chapter will discuss why planning researchers of all kinds – faculty, students, consultants – need to be ethically sensitive. The chapter is written against a background of what has been termed an ‘”ethical” turn’ in many disciplines, and an increasing regulation (and bureaucratisation) of planning (and other) research conducted within universities. Ladd (1980,) argues that there are no ethical principles which are specific to any occupation. In this chapter we argue that the circumstances of planning research, at least, raise distinctive ethical issues . The chapter begins by considering the ethical dimensions of research practice. These will differ according to the way research pract…
Dificultades y límites en la ampliación de la comunidad moral
2009
These pages aim to answer the question, from the ethical theory, of whether it is necessary to extend the universe of moral beings in order to account for the responsibility we have for other beings and for nature in general. To this end, we review the various proposals calling for an extension to the moral community. Following the critical dialogue with these traditions, we argue that the moral community does not need to be extended, but that the concept of moral responsibility requires reconstruction
Is Ethics Rational? Teleological, Deontological and Virtue Ethics Theories Reconciled in the Context of Traditional Economic Decision Making
2016
Abstract This article examines the most prominent ethical theories from the view point of economic rationality. Authors argue that utilitarian perspective which used to be connected with classical concepts of rationality in economics is not the only approach to understand reasoning behind the human behaviour. Moreover, Virtue ethics developed by Aristotle more than 2000 years ago, gives modern perspective to the questions of morale and ethics, connecting individuals to broader communities and explaining their motivation and actions. Similarly, deontological theories that from the first sight might seem as contradicting to rational choice, explain human behaviour when examined at the macro l…
Aristotle and Pedagogical Ethics
2020
The teacher’s pedagogical ethics refers to the Kantian maxims that a teacher is obliged to follow. One could provide a list of the most crucial maxims that a teacher must absolutely not violate. We surely need these Kantian maxims in the teachers’ pedagogical ethics, although they tell us very little about the properties that good and moral teachers should possess. In teacher education we must of course elaborate on the ethical code of the teacher (maxims), but we must also consider the properties of a morally good teacher. A good source in endeavouring to find these properties is the book Aristotle wrote over 2,000 years ago, Nicomachean Ethics. According to Aristotle, a virtuous citizen m…
Ethics in military organisations : implementation in the battlefield and lessons for management sciences
2016
This research questions the idea of military ethics. Our work uses an analytical framework combining three different disciplines: Ethics of care, developed in moral philosophy, Stakeholder theory, from business ethics, New institutionalism theory, from management science. This framework is then applied on two different research fields: the first one deals with the study of battles where ethical stakes were particularly high: the battle of Alger, the Iraqi war, the Srebrenica battle.The second one is qualitative interviews with officers coming back from the battlefield: 10 US officers from the Iraqi conflict and 7 French militaries from Afghanistan. These two research fields are completed by…
Showing and Saying. An Aesthetic Difference
2013
Wittgenstein’s distinction between saying and showing and the associated thesis, what can be shown cannot be said, were crucial to his first philosophy, persisted throughout the evolution of his whole thought and played a key role in his views on aesthetics. The objective of art is access to the mystical, forcing us to become aware of the uniqueness of our own experience and life. When art is good is a perfect expression and the work of art becomes like a tautology. An important consequence of this understanding of art is the irreducibility of the aesthetic to the scientific perspective.
A defense of the moral and legal right to secede
2021
We defend the moral and legal right to secede in accordance with plebiscitary theory. Our paper has three main goals. First, by offering a schematic characterization of plebiscitary theory, the main arguments in its favour (and the main objections to them), we contribute to clarify the structure of this complex debate. Second, we stress the point that, if the moral right to secede is established, the resistance for its inclusion into positive law is unjustified. Finally, by addressing old and new objections to plebiscitary theory, we hope to make a compelling case for a wider recognition of secessionist rights.
Rhetoric About Sustainability in Education: The Presence of the Words Not Spoken
2015
In this chapter, Rhetoric about Sustainability in Education The presence of the words not spoken, Astrid Stifoss-Hanssen addresses the rhetorical situation that one runs into when addressing concepts of sustainability. The theme here is how rhetoric and reality can be reconciled. A key concept is ethos. Ethos implies that you really mean what you say and live by it.
