Abstract:

One of the longest lasting beliefs in Hume scholarship is that Hume endorsed sentimentalism about moral distinctions. Indeed, in “the first known printed discussion of Hume’s moral theory” (Fieser, 2005, Vol. 1, p.1), which appeared in a Bibliothèque raisonée des ouvrages des savans de l’Europe in 1741, we are told that, according to Hume, the activity of distinguishing “what is Right from what is Wrong … is a matter of feeling: reason has nothing to do with the distinctions” (2005, p. 7; emphasis added). Almost three centuries later, most scholars are still committed to the belief that “expla

Abstract:

Moral realism is the view that there are such things as moral facts. Moral realists have attempted to combat the skeptical problem of relativism, which is that the truth of an ethical value judgment is often, or always, subjective, that is, relative to the parties it involves. This essay presents, discusses, and criticizes Hilary Putnam’s attempt at maintaining moral realism while at the same time maintaining a degree of epistemological relativism. Putnam’s positive account originates in moral epistemology, at the heart of which lies truth, as idealized rational acceptability or truth under id

Le droit à la protection contre le harcèlement s'est construit, au fil de l'histoire du droit du travail, en deux étapes. La première étape a été celle de la sanction du harcèlement sexuel tant sur le plan pénal avec la Loi n° 92-684 du 22 juillet 1992 portant réforme des dispositions du Code pénal relatives à la répression des crimes et délits contre les personnes, que sur le plan civil avec la Loi n° 92-1179 du 2 novembre 1992 relative à l'abus d'autorité en matière sexuelle dans les relations de travail et modifiant le Code du travail et le Code de procédure pénale.

Abstract:

Toute économie ainsi que toute science a pour mission d’atteindre un certain progrès dans son domaine. Or si nous pouvons tous être d’accord sur ce point, nous ne partageons pas forcément la même définition du progrès. Pour élucider cette divergence de compréhension, nous avons pris le parti d’adhérer à une distinction entre éthique et morale : là où tout ordre moral consiste à ordonner les éléments d’un cadre déterminé pour une fin donnée, une posture éthique consiste à adopter et à adapter un principe faisant autorité pour découvrir un environnement alors inconnu. Nous avançons alors que le

Abstract:

Devant le nombre croissant d’atteintes commerciales intentionnelles et la prétendue incapacité du droit à y faire face, les sociétés commerciales ne sont plus en mesure d’obtenir efficacement réparation du préjudice subi. Forts de ce constat, certains auteurs proposent l’instauration des dommages-intérêts punitifs, alors que d’autres préconisent ceux à caractère restitutoire. Cette étude a pour objet de démontrer que les sociétés commerciales peuvent subir des atteintes à leurs intérêts extra-patrimoniaux, et que celles-ci peuvent et doivent être réparées sur le fondement du préjudice au moins

Abstract:

Les personnes morales sont couramment considérées comme des « êtres juridiques » incomplets par rapport aux personnes physiques et voués au seul exercice de leur activité. Pourtant la Cour de cassation a affirmé qu'elles pouvaient bénéficier de certaines protections du droit de la consommation par la qualification de non-professionnel. Cependant, la compréhension finaliste du critère d'application de cette qualification rend cette dernière inopérante à l'égard des personnes morales.

Abstract:

Cette thèse vise à comprendre comment les usagers cachés de cocaïne - c'est-à-dire ceux qui parviennent à consommer cette drogue illicite tout en restant inconnus des structures sanitaires et répressives - font face aux tensions normatives qui entourent cette pratique. En effet, la cocaïne est tour à tour ou simultanément considérée comme une drogue dure dangereuse, un produit de plus en plus banal et répandu, tout en étant associée à l'imagerie de la réussite sociale. Or les modalités pratiques des consommations et le regard que les usagers portent leurs pratiques dépendent largement de ces é

Abstract:

Is truth valuable? In addressing this question, one must parse it into questions that are more manageable. Is the property of truth only instrumentally valuable, or is it both instrumentally valuable and noninstrumentally valuable? Is the normativity of the concept of truth an intrinsic or extrinsic property of the concept? In addressing the first of these questions, I show that certain arguments are flawed, arguments that purport to show that truth is not valuable in any kind of way. After establishing that it is reasonable to think that the property of truth is valuable, I show how inflation

La lecture est donc rapidement devenue un excellent moyen d'acquérir des connaissances d'autant plus que les livres sont désormais accessibles grâce à la diffusion sans cesse croissante d'imprimés.

Abstract:

In his ethical treatises Aristotle offers a rich account of those conditions that render people’s behaviour involuntary, and defines voluntariness on the basis of the absence of these conditions. This dissertation has two aims. One is to offer an account of the significance of the notions of involuntariness and voluntariness for Aristotle’s ethical project that satisfactorily explains why he deems it necessary to discuss these notions in his Ethics. My own account of the significance of these notions for Aristotle’s Ethics emerges from my arguments against the two most influential views concer

The whole dissertation consists of an extended argument in defence of the joint truth of two higher-order modal theories, namely, Plantingan Moderate Contingentism, a higher-order necessitist theory advocated by Plantinga (1974) and committed to the contingent being of some individuals, and Williamsonian Thorough Necessitism, a higher-order necessitist theory advocated by Williamson (2013) and committed to the necessary being of ev

Abstract:

While some scholars have highlighted the importance of reason in Joseph Ratzinger’s theology, and others love, less attention has been paid to their interrelation. The thesis in this dissertation is that reason, love, and their interrelation are of critical interest to Ratzinger—that he pays considerable longitudinal attention to each. Further, that he upholds reason and love as inseparable. Moreover, Bernard Lonergan’s articulation of the same subject matter acts as an informative and constructive interlocution to Ratzinger’s assertion of the interrelation between love and reason.

Abstract:

Morally speaking, what distinguishes passive from active euthanasia? Is there even a moral distinction? Before we can answer these questions, it will serve us well to get a sense of what either type of euthanasia involves. Euthanasia is often termed 'mercy killing' or 'assisted suicide.' It is the intentional ending of a patient’s life to ease his pain and suffering (typically caused by some terminal illness). Euthanasia can be classified as passive or active. Passive euthanasia involves withholding common treatments (drugs, operations, respirators etc.) necessary for a patient to continue liv

Abstract:

In general, most women have different ways of knowing, communicating, and acting from most men. Women's characteristic modes of thought, expression, and action are complementary to, not in conflict with, those modes that are more characteristic of men. The particular qualities that women demonstrate can and do have value in the governance of modern institutions. Institutions that include women along with men in their governance, and also allow expression of their particular women's gifts, benefit from this inclusion. Centuries-old prejudice and fear prevent modern institutions from enjoying wo

Abstract:

Such a belief is not only reflected in our law and religious thought, but also in many discourses of contemporary medical ethics. There are, however, many ethicists who call into question that the distinction between doing harm and allowing harm is morally significant, and argue against it as a normative factor that possesses m

Abstract:

By analyzing surveys, census data, policies and curriculum, it is demonstrated that the Toronto District School Board’s policies for equitable, anti-heterosexist, and anti-homophobic curriculum become stymied by how students and sex are routinely treated as subjects of moral control in curriculum. According to Gilles Deleuze's (1988) interpretation of Baruch Spinoza's (1632-1677) philosophical works, the distinction between morals and ethics is also the difference between slavery and freedom.
