An assessment of power abuse under ethics philosophies
2005
In this paper, power abuse is assessed under different philosophies of ethics, namely, principles of relativism, duty, and morality. According to the theory of relativism, the moral rightness or wrongness of specific acts or decisions varies between societies. In some contexts, it is not unusual for people in management positions to abuse of the discretion conferred on them, to secure particular benefits. Sometimes, culture condones such behaviour. Traditions, values and norms help establish ethical principles that specific societies follow. Principles of duty and morality, on the other hand, state that decision-makers owe a duty to their stakeholders. Absolute rules are used to rate the et…
THE ROLE OF RATIONALITY IN JUDICIAL ARGUMENTATION
2006
I would like to try to answer in this paper a question: Should, and in which sense, judicial argumentation, particularly the external justification of the major premise of legal syllogism, be ‘rationally justified’, i.e. objectively founded? In order to determine if the (external) justification of the major premise of legal syllogism should be rationally justified, it is necessary to answer three questions: that is, (a) What is meant by external justification of the major premise of legal syllogism? (b) How and why can we reconstruct the judicial argumentation as a practical syllogism, that is, a form of practical reasoning and not of theoretical reasoning? and (c) How and why should normat…

El desafiador desafiado : ¿es sensato el relativismo cultural?
1997
Desde posiciones filosóficas diversas, pertenecientes a tradiciones diferentes, el relativismo cultural se enfrenta ahora con un relativamente nuevo desafío. Pues se argumenta, o en otros casos se desprende de lo que afirman, que no puede defenderse la eventual verdad de lo que quiere afirmar el relativismo cultural porque tal cosa no puede formularse correctamente con sentido. Y ello debido a que uno de los supuestos básicos de tal opción relativista encuentra serias dificultades cuando se analiza precisa y rigurosamente el marco de relativización, es decir, las diferentes culturas. Pues malamente puede discutirse la tesis del relativismo cultural si no hay manera de identificar una cultur…

Akbarian Scepticism in Islam : Qūnawī's Sceptical Arguments from Relativity and Disagreement
2021
This study deals with the sceptical arguments by one of the most important figures in the philosophical Sufi tradition (the Akbarian school) and the foremost disciple of Ibn ʿArabī, Ṣadr al‐Dīn al‐Qūnawī. Though not a sceptic in the strict sense, Qūnawī employs sceptical arguments from relativity of rational knowledge and disagreement among philosophers to prove inefficacy of reason and rational procedures of knowledge in terms of achieving certain knowledge of metaphysical matters, namely of God and the ultimate principles of things. The paper questions Qūnawī's implicit assumption that, if there is disagreement on a proposition p, then p is relative and thus cannot provide certain knowled…
Teologia w poszukiwaniu kryteriów prawdziwości religii
2020
Celem niniejszego przedłożenia jest wypracowanie kryteriologii umożliwiającej ocenę roszczeń prawdziwościowych poszczególnych religii oraz odróżnienie autentycznych religii od zjawisk pseudoreligijnych. Ze względu na złożoność problematyki ukazano najpierw tło historyczne zagadnienia oraz zwrócono uwagę na jego współczesny kontekst. W kolejnym kroku przeanalizowano istotne dla kryteriologii religii pojęcia. Należą do nich: „prawda”, „prawdziwość”, „religia” oraz „prawdziwość religii”. Poważnym wyzwaniem dla teologii jest dziś zjawisko relatywizmu, kwestionujące istnienie uniwersalnych standardów racjonalności, a w konsekwencji zaprzeczające możliwości utworzenia powszechnie obowiązujących k…
Rethinking validity in qualitative sport and exercise psychology research: a realist perspective
2019
Over the last two decades, the relativist approach has significantly shaped debates about the quality and rigour of qualitative research in sport and exercise psychology (SEP). In the absence of any published critiques of relativism in SEP, this paper problematises its central claims with a focus on the most recent contribution offered by Smith and McGannon (2018 Smith, B., & McGannon, K. R. (2018). Developing rigor in qualitative research: Problems and opportunities within sport and exercise psychology. International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology, 11, 101–121. doi: 10.1080/1750984X.2017.1317357[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®], , [Google Scholar]. Developing rigor in …
