What is Educational Praxis?
2020
This chapter explores the question “What is educational praxis?” based on a review of theoretical and empirical research undertaken by the Pedagogy, Education and Praxis (PEP) international research network over the past decade. A book series produced by the network in 2008 explored this very question in relation to a range of educational sites and national contexts. Six key themes emerging from this work were outlined in the first of the books in the series, Enabling Praxis: Challenges for Education. In short, the themes concerned agents and agency; particularity; connectedness; history; morality and justice; and praxis as doing (Kemmis and Smith in Enabling praxis: challenges for educatio…
Transgresión moral y enfermedad en los países nórdicos en la temprana Edad Moderna
2009
This article seeks to understand how people in the early modern age interpreted the nature of illness and the role that morality played in these interpretations. From this point of view illnesses were not only psycho-physical states or subjects for medical diagnosis but they were also subjects for narratives or stories through which people tried to understand what had caused their illness, and why it was happening to them. Illnesses were understood as strictly connected with the patient's character and were regarded as possible consequences of his personality. On the other hand, the interpretations also emphasised the ambivalence of a healer. Personal experiences and an understanding of one…
A partial micro-foundation for the ‘two-worlds’ theory of morality policymaking: Evidence from Germany
2020
The two-worlds framework is currently the most important account of morality policymaking in Europe. For this theory of elite behaviour to be valid, a number of implicit assumptions about political belief systems at the mass level must hold. This contribution spells out these assumptions and tests them within a structural equation modelling framework, using original survey data from Germany, a country that constitutes a crucial case for the two-worlds theory. The results showed that the implicit individual-level preconditions of the two-worlds framework were fulfilled. Political secularism and partisanship were strongly associated. Political secularism also had strong effects on morality p…
Minding morality : ethical artificial societies for public policy modeling
2020
AbstractPublic policies are designed to have an impact on particular societies, yet policy-oriented computer models and simulations often focus more on articulating the policies to be applied than on realistically rendering the cultural dynamics of the target society. This approach can lead to policy assessments that ignore crucial social contextual factors. For example, by leaving out distinctive moral and normative dimensions of cultural contexts in artificial societies, estimations of downstream policy effectiveness fail to account for dynamics that are fundamental in human life and central to many public policy challenges. In this paper, we supply evidence that incorporating morally sal…

Reliģiski-filozofiski raksti, 20
2016
Katrā no rakstiem, kas publicēti šajos "Reliģiski-filozofiskos rakstos", šķiet, iespējams saskatīsim gan pagātnes sprostā patvērušos brīvību ar tās apreibinošajās ilūzijām par neatkarību ārpus sprosta, gan nojaust neatrisināmo un reizēm iznīcinošo dilemmu starp gara un reālo pasauli, starp spēli un brīdi, kad spēle beidzas. Piemēram, par pagātnē iesprostotas virtuālās pasaules konstruēšanu, kuras brīvībā izlaušanās mērāma iznīcinātu dzīvību tūkstošos, mums stāsta Māris Kūlis savā rakstā “Islāma valsts propaganda digitālajā laikmetā”. Uzsverot, ka Islāma valsts īstenotais militārais un ārkārtīgi agresīvais džihāds ar vēl nepieredzētām sekmēm ir izveidojis sinkrētisku reliģiskās degsmes un mū…
Il sigillo spezzato. Moderno e antimoderno nell’interpretazione habermasiana di Nietzsche
2022
Starting from the analysis of the concept of modernity, this contribution focuses on Habermas' critique of Nietzsche. In particular on the idea that Nietzsche is a break point with modernity and the basis of the post-modern. On the line of defense of modernity and its universalistic normative contents, Habermas re-proposes the transcendental in an anti-relativistic sense. The explosive power of "philosophy with the hammer" and the "total critique of reason" undermine the emancipatory demands of modernity with conservative effects. According to Habermas, the radical critique of truth demolishes itself and the claim to validity. The modern, on the other hand, can be reformed through a model o…
¿Conduce la neurociencia a una naturalización del deontologismo? «Juicios morales deontológicos» en perspectiva neuroética
2017
A tenor de las investigaciones en el campo de la neuroética y más en concreto en la teoría del proceso dual del juicio moral en autores como Joshua Greene, nos planteamos la cuestión de si la neurociencia conduce necesariamente a una «naturalización del deontologismo». De este modo en nuestra comunicación ponemos en cuestión un modo de hacer neurociencia que pretenda reducir el deontologismo a un tipo de respuesta exclusivamente emocional. Frente a este modelo planteamos otra forma de hacer «neuroética» donde se consideren las estructuras psicofísicas de la moralidad sin incurrir en el reduccionismo miope naturalista. Se trata, por lo tanto, de descubrir la neurociencia de la ética, esto es…
Prevention of occupational injuries moral hazard and complex agency relationship
2001
This paper exploits the results of agency theory with the aim of contributing a new viewpoint and a form for analysis of the current functioning of the occupational injury and disease section of the Social Security system in its mission of providing incentives for prevention. After outlining the organization and specific features of insurance against occupational risks, an initial level of analysis highlights the presence of moral hazard in relations between insurer and company and between company and employee. A second level of analysis and resort to complex agency relationship models, multitask model and third-party model, is necessary to take into account the consequences for occupationa…
"There Is No Book, No Matter How Bad It Is, That Does Not Have Something Good in It": The Circulation of the Novels by Sebastiano Erizzo and Niccolò …
2019
This paper provides a first consideration of the dissemination and impact of the novels by Sebastiano Erizzo and Niccolò Granucci in the Spanish Golden Age, focusing on two of their main works, Le sei giornate (1567) and La piacevol notte et lieto giorno (1574), respectively. The characteristics of the identified copies, some coincidences with texts by Lope and Cervantes, and the information collected on the circulation of these two works, whose focus on morality may have favoured their dissemination, lead to the suggestion that their novels had a certain influence on Spanish literature. These circumstances should encourage Hispanists to turn their eyes towards the novels of Niccolò Granucc…
