Abstract:
Recent writers in feminist ethics have been concerned to find ways to reclaim and augment women's moral agency. This essay considers Sarah Hoagland's intriguing suggestion that we renounce moral praise and blame and pursue what she calls an “ethic of intelligibility.” I argue that the eschewal of moral blame would not help but rather hinder our efforts to increase our sense of moral agency. It would, I claim, further intensify our demoralization.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores several entanglements between human judgments of intentionality and morality (blame and praise). After proposing a model of people's folk concept of intentionality I discuss three topics. First, considerations of a behavior's intentionality affect people's praise and blame of that behavior, but one study suggests that there may be an asymmetry such that blame is more affected than praise. Second, the concept of intentionality is constitutive of many legal judgments (e.g., of murder vs. manslaughter), and one study illustrates people's subtle considerations of intentionality in making those judgments. Third, controversial recent studies suggest that moral considerations can affect judgments of intentionality, and an asymmetry may exist such that blame affects those judgments more than praise. I report two new studies that may shed light on these recent findings, and I discuss several theoretical models that might account for the impact of moral considerations on intentionality judgments and for the relationship between the two more generally.

Full text
Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Christopher Bruell
It is only in "erotic matters" that Plato's Socrates is wise, or so he claims at least on several occasions, and since his Socrates makes this claim, it is necessary for Plato's readers to investigate the content of Socrates' wisdom about eros. This dissertation undertakes such an investigation. Plato does not, however, make Socrates' view of eros easy to grasp. So diverse are Socrates' treatments of eros in different dialogues and even within the same dialogue that doubt may arise as to whether he has a consistent view of eros; Socrates subjects eros to relentless criticism throughout the Republic and his first speech in the Phaedrus, and then offers eros his highest praise in his second speech in the Phaedrus and a somewhat lesser praise in the Symposium. This dissertation takes the question of why Socrates treats eros in such divergent ways as its guiding thread and offers an account of the ambiguity in eros' character that renders it both blameworthy and praiseworthy in Socrates' estimation. The investigation is primarily of eros in its ordinary sense of romantic love for another human being, for Socrates' most extensive discussions of eros, those of the Phaedrus and Symposium, are primarily about romantic love. Furthermore, as this investigation makes clear, despite his references to other kinds of eros, Socrates distinguishes a precise meaning of eros, according to which eros is always love of another human being. Socrates' view of romantic love is then assessed through studies of the Republic, Phaedrus, and Symposium. These studies present a unified Socratic understanding of eros; despite their apparent differences, Socrates' treatment of eros in each dialogue confirms and supplements that of the others, each providing further insight into Socrates' complete view. In the Republic, Socrates' opposition to eros, as displayed in both his discussion of the communism of the family in book five and his account of the tyrannic soul in book nine, is traced to irrational religious beliefs to which he suggests eros is connected. Socrates then explains this connection by presenting romantic love as a source of such beliefs in the Phaedrus and Symposium. Because eros is such a source, this dissertation argues that philosophy is incompatible with eros in its precise sense, as Socrates subtly indicates even within his laudatory treatments of eros in the Phaedrus and Symposium. Thus, as a source of irrational beliefs, eros is blameworthy. Yet eros is also praiseworthy. Despite his indication that the philosopher would be free of eros in the precise sense, Socrates also argues that the experience of eros can be of great benefit in the education of a potential philosopher. Precisely as a source of irrational religious belief, the erotic experience includes a greater awareness of the longing for immortality and hence the concern with mortality that Socrates believes is characteristic of human beings, and by bringing lovers to a greater awareness of this concern, eros provides a first step towards the self-knowledge characteristic of the philosophic life

Cook, Kate. "Praise, blame and identity construction in Greek Tragedy." Thesis, University of Reading, 2016. http://centaur.reading.ac.uk/67678/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the use of praise and blame in Greek tragedy as a method of identity construction. It takes sociolinguistic theory as its starting point to show that the distribution of praise and blame, an important social function of archaic poetry, can be seen as contributing to the process of linguistic identity construction discussed by sociolinguists. However, in tragedy, the destructive or dangerous aspects of this process are explored, and the distribution of praise and blame becomes a way of destabilising or destroying identity rather than constructing positive identities for individuals. The thesis begins with a section exploring the importance of praise and blame as a vehicle for identity construction in the case of some of the mythical/heroic warriors who populate the tragic stage: Ajax, Heracles, and Theseus. I discuss the ways in which their own seeking after inappropriate praise leads to the destruction of Ajax and Heracles, and the lack of clear praise for Theseus in extant tragedy. The second half of the thesis examines the devastation caused by women's involvement in the process of identity construction, focusing on Deianira, Clytemnestra, and Medea. All of these women are involved in rejecting the praise discourses which construct the identities for their husbands. Clytemnestra and Medea further replace such praise with new discourses of blame. This process contributes to the destruction of all three women's husbands. Prioritising this important element in interpretations of tragedy, influenced by a greater recognition of the ways in which tragedy draws on older genres of poetry, leads to new readings of apparently well-known plays, and new conclusions on such iconic figures as Theseus. Furthermore, within the context of the extended scholarly discussion on women's speech in tragedy, this approach demonstrates an effective and destructive result of that speech from a new perspective.

Abstract:
The following is an exploration of the use of epideictic rhetoric strategies in nineteenth-century conduct manuals, Sarah Stickney Ellis’s The Women of England: Their Social Duties and Domestic Habits, and Harriet Martineau’s Household Education. In examining the rhetoric of the conduct manuals, this researcher has identified the audience, the rhetorical situation, the exigence of that situation, and the use of phronisis, areti, and euonia by both authors. Because the rhetoric of the conduct manual has not been discussed in current critical perspectives, this research is a starting point for further study. The different types of rhetorical strategies used by each author are the focal points used to uncover how epideictic rhetoric can be understood beyond the restrictions of funeral orations and ceremonial speeches. The primary critical research used in this project has been that focused on epideictic rhetoric and the conduct manuals themselves.

Abstract:

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 87-95).
This dissertation offers a theory of praise and blame: praiseworthy acts manifest virtue and blameworthy acts are incompatible with virtue. Despite its simplicity, proposals like mine have been largely ignored. After all, don't good people sometimes deserve blame, and bad people sometimes deserve praise? I believe the significance of this thought has been exaggerated. The chapters of this dissertation argue that we should understand praiseworthiness and blameworthiness by appeal to the concept of virtue, even granting the possibility of uncharacteristic behaviour. Chapter One argues against the popular view of praiseworthiness, according to which acting well requires only that the agent is moved by the right reasons and acts rightly. At its most plausible, I claim, this view employs a concept of 'acting for the right reasons' that can only be understood in relation to virtue, e.g. someone acts for the right reasons just in case she is momentarily disposed as virtue requires, or has a disposition that approximates virtue. Praiseworthy acts are manifestations of virtue, perhaps qualified in some way, but nonetheless only intelligible in virtue-theoretic terms. Chapter Two builds an account of blameworthiness. In response to puzzling cases of excuse, I distinguishfull and infallible virtue. Roughly put: full virtue requires the disposition to act well; infallible virtue involves perfect compliance with the requirements of morality. This distinction allows us to articulate the relationship between character and culpability: blameworthy acts are those incompatible with full virtue in my sense. Chapter Three addresses a conflict between my view and one dogma in the philosophy of responsibility. Philosophers usually distinguish mere badness and blameworthiness thusly: bad actions reflect deficiencies in one's ethical character but do not warrant resentment or indignation; blameworthy actions call for these attitudes. But I argue there is no privileged part of our psychology that can serve the role of 'ethical character' as it appears in the proposal. A better view falls out of the second chapter. On my view, there are two kinds of wrongdoing: those incompatible with full virtue, and those merely incompatible with infallible virtue. The former are blameworthy, but the latter are merely bad.

Full text
Abstract:
Lorsque Vasari insère ses contemporains dans la seconde édition des Vies, de nouvelles conditions d’écriture se présentent à lui. Sa situation professionnelle a également changé : il travaille désormais officiellement au service de Cosme Ier de Médicis. Ce qui, en 1550, était un recueil de Vies d’hommes illustres devient aussi, en 1568, une histoire du présent. L’éloge se trouve transformé du fait de la nouvelle perspective de réception du texte. Loin d’être l’adulateur inconditionnel qu’on a souvent voulu voir en lui, Vasari choisit au contraire de se forger une image d’historien impartial afin de mieux condamner. Le genre de la biographie historique hérité de Paolo Giovio, remanié par Vasari et appliqué au domaine artistique, donne son originalité au texte des Vies, dans lesquelles l’auteur se donne les moyens rhétoriques de porter des jugements sévères sur la vie artistique de son temps
The context of Giorgio Vasari’s writing changed when he added references to his contemporaries in the second edition of the Vite. Professionally, his situation was not the same either – he was now officially working for Cosimo I de’ Medici. In 1568 what in 1550 had been a collection of the lives of illustrious men also became a history of the present. The use of praise and blame was affected by the new perspective in which the book was to be read. Far from being the unreserved admirer he has often been described as, Vasari chose to present himself as an impartial historian in order to be more effective in distributing blame. Historical biography, a genre inherited from Paolo Giovio, which Vasari reshaped and used in the context of art, gives the text of the Vite its distinctiveness, in which the author builds the rhetorical tools needed to make severe judgments, including on the artistic life of his day

Abstract:
En partant de l’une des périodes les plus riches dans l’histoire de l’Islam en termes de créativité et de production poétiques, notre projet vise à mettre au jour les formes qu’a revêtues le rapport entre le poète et le Prince. Pour élucider ce rapport aussi complexe que protéiforme, nous ferons appel à un corpus riche et varié, et on tentera alors d’examiner la question de l’éloge et du blâme à travers trois prismes : la rhétorique, l’éthique et la politique. Le discours encomiastique mobilise la rhétorique afin d’emporter l’adhésion d’un auditoire sur une matière qui n’est pas encore établie. Mais l’effort déployé par l’orateur afin de convaincre l’auditoire ne peut se passer de la toile de fond éthique et du système commun de valeurs dont il procède pour arriver à la persuasion. Quant à la dimension politique, elle se reflète dans la fonction du poète comme « arme verbale » au service du Prince et instrument de légitimation de sa position politique contre ses adversaires réels ou potentiels. Par-delà la fonction de panégyriste officiel, la performativité du discours politique s’étend également à la parole, d’éducation, de réforme voire de critique ouverte qui pourrait évoquer la parrêsia antique. Grâce à un fonds sapiential, la poésie apporte sa contribution au processus de formation de l’homme politique et lui offre un excellent manuel de gouvernement. Quant à la veine contestataire, l’invective, la caricature et la mobilisation de la parole polémique constituent ses principaux ressorts. La veine contestataire traverse le regard que le poète jette sur l’univers de la cour, la politique du Prince ou le rapport entre gouvernants/gouvernés. Qu’il s’agisse de nominations, de projets politiques ou de l’ethos même de l’homme du pouvoir, le poète est toujours présent pour donner son avis. L’injustice d’une décision prise par un juge, le népotisme d’un gouverneur ou la dureté d’un général sont autant d’aspects qui témoignent de la vivacité de la critique du pouvoir par le poète, et du rôle que ce dernier endosse en tant que moralisateur de cette sphère. Le conseil se présente alors comme le moyen de rectifier les décisions ou les orientations générales du Prince et témoigne de l’existence d’une véritable rationalité poétique. Aussi, la rhétorique de l’éloge et du blâme témoigne-elle de l’existence d’une rationalité poétique qui arrive à maturité à l’époque abbasside et parvient à un degré d’efficience oratoire sans précédent en raison d’une conscience accrue du poète de la nécessité de s’impliquer dans la vie politique et de peser sur le cours de l’Histoire
Based on one of the richest periods in the history of Islam in terms of poetic creativity and production, our project seeks to revise the forms that characterized the relationship between the poet and the prince. To elucidate this relationship as complex as it is protean, we will call on a rich and varied corpus, and then examine the question of praise and blame through three prisms: rhetoric, ethics and politics. The encomiastic discourse uses rhetoric to gain an audience’s support for a matter that is not yet established. But the effort required by the orator to convince the audience necessitates the ethical backdrop and common system of values, from which he proceeds to persuade. As for the political dimension, it is reflected in the poet’s function as the “verbal arm” serving the prince and as an instrument legitimizing his political position against real or potential opponents. Beyond the function of official panegyrist, the performativity of political discourse also extends to speech, education, reform, even open criticism that could evoke the antique parrêsia. By virtue of its sapiential substance, poetry contributes to the process forming the politician and offers him an excellent manual to government. As for the dissenting vein, invective, caricature and the mobilization of polemical speech constitute his main resources. The dissenting vein passes through the poet’s gaze on the universe of the court, the prince’s politics and the relationship between governor/governed. Whether it involves nominations, political projects or the very ethos of the man of power, the poet is always present to give his opinion. The injustice of a decision made by a judge, the nepotism of a governor or the harshness of a general are all aspects that demonstrate the poet’s vivacious criticism of power, and the role that the latter assumes as the moralizer of this sphere. The counsel is then presented as a means to rectify the prince’s general decisions or orientations and attests to the existence of a veritable poetic rationality. Furthermore, the rhetoric of praise and blame indicates the existence of a poetic rationality that reached maturity in the Abbasid period and attained an unprecedented degree of oratory efficiency, due to the poet’s growing consciousness of the necessity to be involved in political life and to influence the course of history

Abstract:
This chapter examines the idea of blame, as an activity distinct from judging blameworthy but not equivalent to punishing. There are different sorts of blame, that correspond to different sorts of wrongdoing. Ordinary blame is communicative, and applies to agents who have acted subjectively wrongly. Ordinary praise is, likewise, communicative, and also depends on the agent knowing what she is doing. These can be contrasted with detached praise and blame, which apply to agents outside our moral community. Detached blame is a mixed bag, and this chapter offers a general account of how such blame reactions work. They are not communicative, rather they function from a distance. That does not entail that they are mere appraisals: they are genuinely a species of blame, in that they are a response to wrongdoing that goes beyond a mere judgment. This leads to a discussion of detached blameworthiness, which corresponds to detached blame.

Full text
Abstract:
Large tip clearances in the region of six percent span exist in the high pressure stages of compressors of industrial gas turbines. The over tip clearance flow causes significant blockage and accounts for the largest proportion of loss in the high pressure compressor. This paper examines large tip clearances in two different compressor cascades. The first was a cascade of controlled-diffusion blades and the second cascade had geometry more representative of modern engine practise. The second cascade also featured realistic inlet boundary layer conditions delivered by an upstream injection system. Increasing the understanding of such flows will allow for improvements in the design of such compressors. The key conclusions of this paper are: a) At large tip clearances the tip clearance is the primary variable influencing the flow pattern, blade geometry is a secondary consideration; b) The blade geometry has a significant influence on loss generation through the cascade; c) With increasing tip clearance the loss generation through the cascade can diminish but the flow turning is much reduced; and d) The blade loading at the tip can increase at large tip clearances.

Full text
Abstract:
An impeller design algorithm implemented in a computer code is presented. It can be used for designing radial and mixed flow impellers for compressors, blowers and fans. The implemented algorithm allows finding suitable impeller geometries considering fluid mechanical and technological aspects. Based on the input of main design parameters for the stage (like tip diameter, rotational speed, through flow, and specific energy transfer), first the feasibility of the given combination of input values is checked, and possible design ranges are determined (like for outlet blade angles, inlet diameter, and outlet width). After choosing the final design parameter within the possible range, a mean line blading is generated. Then the algorithm allows optimizing the blading geometry, velocity distribution, and blade loading by changing the mean streamline. The mean line blading then serves as a basis for generating the complete 3D blading, distributing the blade loading in a way that favorable velocity distributions are obtained throughout the impeller and that the obtained blade geometry is acceptable. Finally the blading generated according to fluid mechanical aspects can be adapted to technological constrains by changing geometric parameters and overlaying a thickness distribution. During this process the velocity distributions are always re-evaluated using the streamline curvature algorithm by Stanitz und Prain. Despite friction is neglected, experience has shown that the obtained results allow a good evaluation of the aerodynamic quality of the impeller design.

Abstract:
Delaying breakdown of the flow in the tip region of a tip-critical compressor rotor as long as possible, i.e. improving the surge margin, is of great interest to the turbomachinery community and is the focus of this study. The surge margin of ten compressor rotors is evaluated numerically, each with different blade loading and geometry at the tip. Previous work in the field has shown the dependence of an interface in the tip region of a compressor rotor between the incoming flow and the tip clearance flow with the passage flow coefficient ϕ. Previous work in the field has also shown that a higher incoming meridional momentum in the tip region can be beneficial to the surge margin of a tip-critical rotor. The present study generalizes these findings by taking into account the local blade loading of the rotor tip section and the level of loss in the tip region. The surge margin is found to improve if the blade loading of the rotor tip section is increased, which acts to increase the incoming mass flow rate and improve the surge margin provided that an increase in loss, mainly related to the strength and direction of the tip clearance flow, does not negate the effect as the compressor is throttled. Two quantities are proposed as objective functions to be used for optimization to achieve a compressor rotor with high surge margin based on the flow field at the design point. Finally, an optimization and analysis of the results is made to demonstrate the proposed objective functions in practise.

Abstract:
Abstract The Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) has been conducting both theoretical and experimental research on wet steam for over 50 years. Part of this research has focused on the development of an instrument for measuring the structure of the liquid phase of wet steam — an optical extinction probe. The measurements of the wet steam structure using our optical extinction probe take place in operative steam turbines. Due to the non-negligible interaction of the probe with the flow field in its vicinity, the wet steam parameters within the probe measuring space change. This probe-flow field interaction (PFFI) negatively affects the accuracy of the measurement of the liquid phase structure. This paper presents partial results of our research into the interaction between the optical probe and the surrounding flow field. Particularly, it is the result of CFD simulations of wet steam (WS) flow in the low-pressure section of a 1000 MW nuclear plant steam turbine, in which the probe has been used repeatedly. In the simulations we consider, non-equilibrium condensation allows for the observation of the formation and development of the liquid phase within the turbine. The influence of PFFI on the liquid phase structure is evaluated by a coefficient called the Probe Influence Factor (PIF). In this work, the PIF values are presented for 3 varying traversing positions of the probe along the L-1 stage turbine blade. The use of the PIF to analyse the experimental measurement results is also discussed. The second part of the paper deals with the possibility of modifying the shape of the probe measuring head. Based on detailed analysis of the CFD simulations of PFFI, modifying the shape of the probe is proposed to reduce this interaction. The benefit of this change is evaluated using CFD simulations. Comparisons between the PIF coefficients of the original and modified optical probes indicate that modifying the shape may reduce the PFFI influence on experimental measurements.
