Abstract:

The Humean legacy in moral philosophy has given rise to the following familiar divergence of views:1. Moral questions are questions of feeling. Rational discussion can occur given the acceptance of unreasoned commitments to values or principles, but it must not be thought that these values or principles can themselves be justified rationally. Moral disagreements may be resolved through persuasion, but it is appropriate for rational persons to be permanently irreconcilable in their moral views.2. Moral questions are questions of fact and/or logic. They are therefore in principle resolvable through rational discussion, like any other questions of fact and/or logic. The idea that rational persons should be permanently unable to agree on moral questions, despite indefinitely lengthy discussion and enquiry, is unintelligible.

Abstract:

The classical ethical questions of whether and to what extent moral criticism is a sort of rational criticism have received renewed interest in recent years. According to the approach that I refer to as rationalist, accounts of moral responsibility are grounded by explanations of the conditions under which an agent is rationally answerable for her actions and attitudes. In the sense that is relevant here, to answer for an attitude or action is to give reasons that at least purport to justify it. To hold someone answerable for an attitude or action is thus to hold her rationally liable for it. T. M. Scanlon’s view is perhaps the most well-known example of this approach. The rationalist approach has recently been attacked by David Shoemaker for being too narrow: the charge is that attitudes exist for which an agent is responsible even though she cannot, in the relevant sense, answer for them. If there are morally significant attitudes that are attributable to an agent even though she cannot answer for them, then it would seem incomplete, misguided, or worse to treat morality as fundamentally a matter of demanding and giving reasons. By developing some remarks based on G. E. M. Anscombe’s Intention, I defend the rationalist approach against this critique. I show how an agent may be answerable for an attitude even though she cannot answer for it. The objective of this paper is thus twofold: to contribute to the discussion of the connection between rational liability and ethical responsibility, and to provide an example of the broad relevance of Anscombe’s thought to contemporary practical philosophy.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn academic Q&A, question cues are characteristics of natural language for responders to understand askers' needs. However, knowledge is limited concerning responders' answerability evaluations which could be influenced by question cues (e.g., emotional expressiveness, complexity) and topic types. To address the gap, this research conducted an experiment to investigate how different question cues and topic types influence evaluations of question answerability. Sentiment analyses were conducted to assess responders' evaluations of question answerability. Results showed that responders favored answering complex questions rather than simple ones. Responders also held more divergent opinions regarding whether to answer STEM questions with different cues while holding a more inclusive answerability evaluation of non‐STEM questions.

Abstract:

Abstract: The aim of this study was to characterize the trajectory of answerability in Brazil. In the light of studies based on the historical neo-institutionalism approach, formal institutional changes adopted at federal level between 1985 and 2014, and which favor the typical requirements of answerability - information and justification - were identified and analyzed through the content analysis technique. The conclusion is that the trajectory of answerability in contemporary Brazil can be characterized as continuous, primarily occurring through the layering strategy, and whose leitmotif, since its origin, has consisted of matters of financial and budgetary nature. Nevertheless, a recent influence of deeper democratic subjects on it has been observed.

Abstract:

This thesis critically examines John McDowell’s account of experience and perceptual judgment. McDowell’s principal thesis in Mind and World was that experience needs to be conceived as comprising conceptual content in order to assuage certain characteristic anxieties in modern philosophy in relation to empirical thought. McDowell’s notion of experience with a manifold of passively actualized propositional content became central to achieving that end. McDowell’s recently revised account of experience, now divested of propositional content, accordingly warrants an examination of the new form of conceptually shaped experience that he offers, and of the necessity of positing experience with conceptual content, in order to avoid the Myth of the Given. I identify three central features that come to inform McDowell’s account of experience with conceptual content, which in turn constitute the divisions of Chapters in this thesis: 1. Rational Entitlement; 2. Objectivity; 3. Self-Determining Capacities. In this context, I elucidate the particular models of conceptual intelligibility that are offered by McDowell in order to substantiate his stipulation of conceptual capacities as they are to be understood as operative in experience. Charles Travis presents an account of experience and perceptual judgment which contributes to McDowell’s critical rethink of his proposal in Mind and World that conceptually shaped experience has propositional content. I contend that, with McDowell no longer able to draw upon the more robust models of how to conceive of experience as conceptually shaped, and in light of certain aspects of Travis’s account of perceptual judgment, such a cumulative methodology places McDowell’s account of experience as conceptually shaped in serious difficulty – such that it may warrant a reconsideration of those higher-order concerns, specifically the Myth of the Given, that motivate and inform his treatment of experience and perceptual judgment.

Abstract:

Magister Administrationis - MAdmin<br>After decades of seeking answers, without much success, to the development challenges facing third world countries, agencies such as the IMF and World Bank have turned increasingly in recent years to issues governance and accountability. In Africa especially, the failure of most development strategies has been attributed to governance issues such as democratic deficits, corruption and lack of political accountability among others. Uganda like several other African countries has been criticised for corruption - a sign that the country has a problem with the functioning of accountability and governance in general. In an attempt to find out whether the local government institutional mechanisms in Uganda embody possible explanations for weaknesses in political accountability, this study hypothesizes that institutional arrangements impact on downward accountability. While concentrating on the anatomy of institutions and the dimensions of accountability to which they relate, as well as on how the formal and informal institutions relate to each other, the study gives an insight into how institutions impact on downward answerability and enforceability at the local level in Uganda. Based on a thorough consideration of both the theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the concept of accountability, the study develops relevance criteria upon which an assessment of both formal and informal institutions' relevance for each of the dimensions of accountability is based. In both cases, formal institutions are found to be more relevant for accountability than informal ones. Critical issues about the capabilities of informal institutions are however raised, culminating in a discussion on the relationship between formal and informal institutions in the study area. While also considering other variables that interact with institutions in affecting accountability, the study calls for a re examination in the concepts under investigation namely 'institutions' and 'accountability'. The study concludes that problems of accountability can be accounted for by weaknesses in institutional design, conceptual weaknesses in the definition of accountability, as well as contextual factors such as resource constraints. In the light of this recognition, the study offers theoretical as well as policy level recommendation

Abstract:

This thesis argues that a Bakhtinian dialogic approach holds possibilities for reconceptualising and re-enacting teacher–child dialogue interactions in early years education. It accepts education as open-ended, with children as active participants and frames teacher–child dialogues as unique encounters, which can go beyond children’s neoliberal enculturation in the world. Neoliberal discourses have exerted an important influence on early years education, emphasising universal “best evidence” strategies and narrowly defined learning “outcomes” which can lead to technicist approaches to teaching and learning. The study explores the dialogic interactions between children aged from 3½ to 5 years and their teachers in two early childhood settings. In a dialogic methodological approach, two of the teachers and myself as a researcher critically engaged in collaborative discussions of selected video recordings of the teacher–child interactions. A Bakhtinian concept of moral answerability applies to the collaborative dialogic approach between teachers and researcher. It goes beyond teaching as a technical approach with universal strategies, to provide guidance for teachers in the unique lived experiences with their students. A dialogic reflexivity, which is employed both pedagogically and as a methodological approach in the study, is aligned with Bakhtin’s philosophy of praxis in everyday life experiences. A second Bakhtinian notion of polyphony explains how each person accesses multiple voices in response, which are shaped simultaneously by unique previous experiences and the encounter itself. In educational dialogue, polyphony can open up a view of dialogue as open-ended and providing different possibilities; it can allow for more meaningful responses by students and more respectful listening from teachers. Furthermore, young children’s carnivalesque utterances are viewed as challenging authoritative, monologic discourses when analysed through a Bakhtinian lens. For Bakhtin, subjectivity is not only shaped in and through dialogue; it also in turn shapes present and future dialogue. Dialogue is therefore inevitably intertwined with subjectivity. Findings show that teaching in early childhood settings involves a complex mix of both monologic and dialogic acts. Dialogic processes can provide alternative understandings of children and teachers as agentic and unfinalised. At times, children were engaged in carnivalesque acts, resisting authoritative teaching through their play, chanting and non-verbal communication, thereby making visible the institutionalisation of children and teachers in early childhood settings. It is suggested that children who are active participants in their education need to be given opportunities for carnivalesque responses. Furthermore, when early childhood teachers have opportunities to critically reflect on children’s utterances in a collaborative dialogue with colleagues, they can gain a more complex understanding of teacher–child dialogue, enabling them to answer morally to the children in their care. Ongoing dialogic encounters with the teachers provided multiple perspectives of the data, resulting in changes to their teaching practices and routines. The findings of the study hold important implications for teaching and for in-service and pre-service teacher education. I suggest that respectful dialogic approaches between teachers and researchers hold pedagogical and methodological potential and, when used thoughtfully, can counteract neoliberal, technicist interventions. In relation to both pre-service and in-service teacher education, the study speaks to the importance of teachers being equipped to engage in open-ended dialogue with children and collaborative dialogues with peers. Drawing on Bakhtin’s concept of moral answerability, this thesis is an utterance asking for an active response not only in everyday teacher-child dialogues, but also in the ongoing, open-ended dialogue about early childhood education and, in particular, teacher–child dialogue. It leaves unfinalised not only children and adults, but also the subject of teacher- child dialogue. There is no first utterance and no last word; Bakhtinian dialogue views both children and adults as becoming.

Abstract:

A presente pesquisa busca identificar, a partir de noções formuladas pelo Círculo de Bakhtin (como dialogismo, responsividade, esfera, gênero, enunciado etc), mecanismos e processos pelos quais o discurso da SBPC (Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência) materializado nos editoriais da revista Ciência Hoje se constitui (dialógica e responsivamente) pela interação com outros discursos em circulação no contexto em que ela é criada e produzida. Focalizando os editoriais na qualidade de enunciados e, portanto, como unidades da comunicação discursiva em que se dá o encontro entre a língua e a realidade históricosocial, o trabalho explora a hipótese de que a revista, criada no início dos anos 80 em um contexto discursivo marcado por intensa politização, corresponde a um ato responsivo por meio do qual a SBPC procura afirmar sua posição diante das questões em pauta no grande diálogo travado na sociedade brasileira. Nessas condições, os editoriais refletem e refratam as mais importantes posições ideológico-discursivas em interação e disputa no panorama discursivo do país, as quais, sob diferentes acentos apreciativos, vão se incorporar aos elementos que compõem a arquitetura desses editoriais. Entre as principais posições refletidas e refratadas no território desses editoriais estão aquelas que se manifestam nos discursos da democratização e da cidadania.<br>This research intends to identify, using notions formulated by the Bakhtin Circle (such as dialogism, answerability, sphere, genre, utterance etc), mechanisms and processes through which the speech of the SBPC-Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência (Brazilian Society for the Progress of Science), materialized in editorials of the Ciência Hoje magazine, is constituted (dialogically and responsively) by the interaction with other speeches in circulation in the context where it is created and produced. Focusing on editorials in its condition of utterances and, therefore, as units of the discursive communication in which occurs the encounter between language and social reality, this study explores the hypothesis that the magazine, created at the beginning of 80\'s in a discursive context marked by intense politicalization, corresponds to a responsive act by which SBPC attempts to affirm its position on the issues in discussion in the great dialogue in Brazilian society, reflecting and refracting, in its utterances, the most important ideological-discursive positions in interaction and dispute in the discursive panorama of the country, which, under different appreciative accents, will integrate the elements that compose the architecture of the magazine editorials. Among the main positions reflected and refracted in the territory of these editorials are those revealed in the speeches of democratization and citizenship.

Contempla a categoria dos motoboys, trabalhadores que executam serviços de entrega mediante a utilização de motocicletas, para vencer distâncias, economizando tempo e superando o congestionamento das vias públicas. Compreender as percepções e práticas dos motoboys acerca da própria vitimização por atos de violência no trabalho é o principal objetivo deste estudo. A pesquisa possui caráter exploratório, e foi desenvolvida através de metodologia qualitativa, utilizando técnicas de observação direta e de entrevista. Foram entrevistadas 59 pessoas, subdivididas em trabalhadores (53), donos de empresa de moto-entrega (03), o comandante do Esquadrão Águia (01), um instrutor de motociclistas (01), e o presidente do Sindicato dos Motociclistas, Motoboys e Mototaxistas do Estado da Bahia (01). As observações diretas foram realizadas em audiências públicas e eventos sócio-culturais do segmento. A categoria está representada predominantemente por homens jovens, com idade entre 30 e 38 anos, negros-mestiços, 2º grau completo, casados e com filhos. Na percepção destes trabalhadores, o comportamento desrespeitoso e agressivo dos motoristas nas vias públicas, os assaltos, os acidentes, e especialmente a violência policial, são as principais formas de vitimização a que estão expostos. O deslocamento em serviço por zonas de alta criminalidade expõe os trabalhadores à ação dos delinqüentes locais, levando-os a desenvolverem suas próprias formas de proteção. A acomodação, o comportamento de evitação e a adoção de atitudes agressivas, são recursos comumente utilizados pelos motoboys em resposta a comportamentos percebidos como violentos. Na perspectiva organizacional, os motoboys são culpabilizados pelos delitos de que são vítimas, sendo apontados como autores ou cúmplices das ocorrências criminosas, e tendo que assumir total responsabilidade pelos prejuízos decorrentes dos referidos eventos. Ter a moto tomada de assalto, assumir o prejuízo total, perder o emprego, e ainda ficar marcado negativamente pelo ocorrido, são situações de responsabilização extrema que fazem parte do dia-a-dia do motoboy. Urgente se faz que a categoria seja reconhecida legalmente em todo o país, que seja desmistificada a associação dos trabalhadores ao crime, e que políticas públicas sejam instituídas e/ou implementadas para enfrentamento do problema e proteção ao segmento.<br>Salvador

Abstract:

C’est peu dire que la notion de psychopathie génère quelques difficultés qui semblent toutes préparées à entretenir notre perplexité. Le travail ici proposé vise justement à en affronter quelques-unes, nichées au carrefour de la psychopathologie, de la philosophie et du droit pénal. Plusieurs questions interreliées sont tour à tour traitées. Premièrement, celle de la mesure dimensionnellement indexée des traits psychopathiques tels qu’exprimés chez l’enfant et le jeune adulte en population non-clinique. Les propriétés métrologiques de deux échelles d’évaluation spécialement traduites en français sont examinées (structure factorielle latente, consistance interne, validité critériée, corrélations convergentes, invariance métrique, scalaire et configurale, etc.). Une logique à la fois développementale et comparatiste est adoptée, avec une attention toute particulière accordée au problème de l’applicabilité multi-âge et transculturelle du construit de psychopathie formalisé. Nous nous attachons dans un second temps à démontrer, conceptuellement puis empiriquement, la fécondité de l’approche relationniste (et processualiste) des entités nosologiques pragmatiquement délimitées. La topologie ainsi que la structure causale de l’interactome psychopathique apparaîtront éclairées, d’une part via la construction hiérarchisée de réseaux de corrélations partielles régularisés, et d’autre part via la modélisation de graphes acycliques orientés bayésiens. Le troisième moment de cette thèse est consacré à l’agentivité morale des sujets dits « psychopathes ». Il s’agira en premier lieu d’interroger les coordonnées expérientielles, la profondeur et les soubassements les plus probables du « déficit émotionnel » si récurremment attribué à ces derniers (un bref détour du côté des doctrines sentimentalistes aura initialement permis de souligner à quel[s] niveau[x] et dans quelle mesure notre vie morale dépend de notre vie affective). Seront subséquemment disséquées les études venues explorer depuis une vingtaine d’années les liens entre traits psychopathiques et jugements moraux. Plusieurs remarques critiques sont alors formulées à l’encontre d’une littérature que nous tentons d’enrichir par le biais d’une recherche dédiée à l’identification des paramètres prioritairement impliqués dans les prises de décisions (im)morales des individus présentant un profil franchement ou tendanciellement psychopathique. S’ensuit une discussion destinée à expliciter ce qu’est susceptible de venir traduire ce « manque de sensibilité morale » qui ressort de façon flagrante de la confrontation itérative de nos participants à des dilemmes éthiques. L’enjeu est somme toute de préciser en quel(s) sens, à quelle(s) condition(s) et jusqu’à quel point il peut être raisonnablement affirmé que le psychopathe n’a pas « la » capacité d’être moral. Notre dernière partie laisse place à des considérations plus pratiques, de type préventif, avec la restitution des résultats d’une évaluation axée sur l’efficacité d’une intervention psychoéducative réservée à des enfants d’âge scolaire. Nonobstant quelques réserves, l’essai contrôlé randomisé qui fut déployé permet d’établir que le programme testé peut agir positivement sur certaines dispositions (pré-)psychopathiques. Nous concluons en venant questionner les fondements et les fonctions des peines prononcées pour des délinquants exhibant divers attributs psychopathiques. Le double problème de la responsabilité et de la responsabilisation inchoative des sujets concernés est donc expressément posé<br>It is an understatement to say that the notion of psychopathy generates difficulties that seem destined to keep us perplexed. The aim of this thesis is to untangle some of the main complications at the crossroads of psychopathology, philosophy, and criminal law. We address several interrelated issues in turn. First, that of the dimensionally indexed measurement of psychopathic traits as expressed in children and young adults in non-clinical populations. The metrological properties of two rating scales specially translated into French are examined (latent factorial structure, internal consistency, criterion validity, convergent correlations, metric, scalar and configural invariance, etc.). A developmental and comparative logic is adopted, with particular attention paid to the problem of multi-age and cross-cultural applicability of the formalized psychopathy construct. Secondly, we demonstrate, conceptually and then empirically, the fruitfulness of the relationalist (and processualist) approach to pragmatically delimited nosological entities. The topology and causal structure of the psychopathic interactome will be drawn, on the one hand via the construction of regularized partial correlation networks (using the LASSO algorithm), and on the other via the modeling of bayesian directed acyclic graphs. The third part of our work is devoted to the moral agency of psychopaths. Firstly, it will examine the experiential sap, depth, and most probable underpinnings of the "emotional deficit" attributed to these subjects (a brief detour to sentimentalist theories will have highlighted the area[s] and extent to which our moral life depends on our emotional life). In the last twenty years or so, studies exploring the links between psychopathic traits and moral judgments have been dissected. Several critical remarks are made about this literature, which we are attempting to enrich through research dedicated to identifying the parameters primarily involved in the (im)moral decision-making of individuals with a frankly or tendentially psychopathic profile. This is followed by a discussion aimed at clarifying what this "weaker sensitivity to moral norms", which emerges from our participants' iterative confrontation with ethical dilemmas, is likely to reflect. The issue at stake is clearly stated: it is a question of considering under what condition(s), in what sense(s) and to what extent it seems permissible to believe that the psychopath is not capable of being moral. Our final section turns to more practical, preventive considerations, reporting the results of an evaluation of the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention for school-age children. The randomized controlled trial carried out established that the program tested can have a beneficial effect on certain (pre-)psychopathic dispositions. We conclude by questioning the basis and function of sentences handed down to offenders showing various psychopathic characteristics. The problem of attributability, answerability and accountability of the persons concerned is thus expressly raised

Abstract:

This study proposes an approach to a solution for the problem of the perceived ‚separatedness‛ of language from reality which employs the rhetorical concept of ethos, the doctrinal concept of the Chalcedonian definition of the nature of the incarnated Christ, and Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of ‚answerability.‛ As an alternative to theories of reading and interpretation based on the arbitrariness of linguistic meaning, radical skepticism, and the death of the author, the approach defined in this study emphasizes affirmation of the centrality of the human person and the necessity of close, loving attention as the grounds of both aesthetic vision and ethical action. Developing three exemplary readings of novelized epics including Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Aurora Leigh, David Jones’s In Parenthesis, and Chenjerai Hove’s Bones, the study demonstrates how loving, careful attention to ethos—the definition of which is expanded to include relationships between language and character in literary works, genres, characters, authors, and teachers—is the prerequisite for answerability in literary relationships. Whether one is primarily interested in authors, characters, genres, canon, readers, or critical reception, attention to ethos illuminates the ways in which responses to literary works are conditioned by and analogous to responses to persons. The complex and irreducible relationships between the ‚word‛ and the ‚person‛ require an individual answerability for which there is no alibi. Ultimately, the ‚word‛ and the ‚world‛ are united in the answerable person, whether that person is an author, a character, a reader, a critic or a teacher.

Abstract:

This chapter defends externalist or “constitutively relational” conceptions of autonomy through an examination of an alternative approach developed by Andrea Westlund. Westlund develops her approach in response to what has been called the “agency dilemma.” On the one hand, constraining external circumstances seem to undermine autonomy; on the other, the claim that people are nonautonomous because of their circumstances seems to erase their agency and disrespect their evaluative commitments. This chapter distinguishes the necessary and sufficient conditions of several interrelated aspects of agency: autonomy, authentic agential perspective, and moral responsibility. I argue that whereas answerability may be sufficient for moral responsibility, it is not sufficient for autonomy. Objections to externalist conceptions of autonomy, including the agency dilemma, wrongly assume that denying autonomy implies erasing agency. Once it is recognized that autonomy does not always overlap with authentic agential perspective or moral responsibility, the objections lose their force.

Abstract:

Widely derided by popular psychologists as a destructive response, blame has many defenders among contemporary philosophers. The chapter pushes against their defenses of blame by distinguishing between blame as a reactive attitude and blaming as a speech act, arguing that some disagreement over blame’s value can be explained by the fact that blaming, as a speech act, takes several different forms. Critiques of blame properly target judgmental or strongly verdictive blaming, which treats the wrongdoer as deserving of the blamer’s hostile reactions. This tends to foreclose engagement in further moral dialogue with wrongdoers—an effect particularly destructive in therapeutic contexts; here, it is often more appropriate and constructive to hold others answerable without blaming them in the strongly verdictive sense. The chapter argues that such blame may be similarly destructive outside of straightforwardly therapeutic contexts, and challenges the existence of a sharp divide between therapeutic and nontherapeutic responses to wrongdoers.

Abstract:

While there is much to celebrate about the many institutions, actors, and initiatives that form the global health system, there are also problems with how the system is governed. Some of these relate to inequities and unmanaged conflicts of interest that are rooted in power imbalances and which leave certain actors with excessive and undue influence. By contrast, poorer countries and communities with the biggest stake in the global health system working equitably, effectively, and efficiently have little power by which to hold the system accountable. This intersecting issue of power, accountability, and global health governance is the focus of this Working Paper. The paper is broken into three sections. The first section discusses the meaning of global health governance and the role of accountability within governance structures and systems in general. It describes the current system of global health governance as being nested within a wider system of global political and economic governance, shaped by international relations, globalisation, and the dominance of neoliberal ideas and policies in recent decades. This has seen, among other things, shifts of power from state-based actors and institutions to more distant and less accountable global actors, as well as from democratic and public institutions to private actors and market forces. In doing so, the Working Paper draws particular attention to the power and accountability of powerful private actors and whether they are sufficiently held accountable. The second section unpacks the concept of accountability and describes five elements that are required for accountability to function (standards; data and information; answerability; sanctions; and remedy). It highlights the importance of independence in accountability and the challenges of holding powerful actors accountable. It then presents a three-layered framework to map accountability as a component of good global health governance. The final section concludes by calling for more discussion about power and accountability in global health, while also emphasising the need for rigorous research in identifying and helping correct harmful and unhealthy accountability deficits.
