Abstract:

In this thesis, I argue for rationalism, the claim that political legitimacy should be distributed such that justice is promoted best. In chapter 1, I define legitimacy as the permission to rule. I deny that political institutions generally enjoy authority, which is the moral power to directly impose duties on others. I then describe how legitimate political institutions without authority are possible in principle. In the second chapter, I outline a major problem for rationalism. If individuals have strong, moral rights, then it seems that political institutions cannot legitimately operate wit

Abstract:

Why do terrorists select the targets that they do? Existing explanations only provide a partial account. Here, I argue that terrorist organizations are concerned with two competing needs: that of public support and the achievement of their objectives. The interplay between these competing needs then helps to determine the selection of one of two types of targets, civilian or non-civilian. Following previous literatures, I place the terrorist organization in a bargaining interaction with a targeted government. I then condition this model by considering the role of three factors that can influen

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I argue that the structure of eudaimonist ethics is similar to the structure of Kant's ethics and its relatives. In Chapter One, I discuss some different ways of thinking about the good life of a person and its relation to morality, as a way of situating eudaimonism and clarifying what is distinctive about it. In Chapter Two I argue that eudaimonism does not violate strong intuitions about the subjective aspect of the good life. In Chapter Three I discuss and defend the view of our nature to which Aristotle and other eudaimonists are committed. I argue reflection on our p

Abstract:

This study addresses the mechanisms and consequences of shifts and transitions at the apex of the international hierarchy of power. It begins with the assessment that in spite of recent advances, progress in this area has been limited by lack of theoretical consistency and rigor. To remedy this problem, a game-theoretic model is developed which conceives of power shifts as transitions in preferences and learning processes. The model is then tested against the case of the pre-World War I British-German power shift. Findings provide new insight into the dynamics of prewar European diplomacy, and

Abstract:

In this thesis I investigate the intellectual foundations of International Political Economy (IPE) in order to develop a more complex account of agency than that currently provided to the subject field by neoclassical economics. In particular, I focus on the thought of Adam Smith, whose ideas are gaining interest in IPE owing to an increasing recognition of his seminal contribution to the subject field. I investigate the secondary debate on Smith, his influences, his distance from his peers in the Scottish Enlightenment and his ongoing influence across the social sciences. I also analyse the t

Abstract:

The so-called ‘amphiboly’ section of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason is a section that has remained relatively understudied in commentaries and literature on the Critique. In this brief appendix to the Transcendental Analytic, Kant puts forward a charge against his German Rationalist heritage – the philosophical tradition of Leibniz, Wolf, Baumgarten – claiming for this heritage the error of an ‘amphiboly of the concepts of reflection’. When the precise nature of this charge is appreciated, it is possible to see that both the recognition of the error and the identifcation of its correction play

Abstract:

The dissertation explores the question of the possibility of a moral theory compatible with common sense morality. Common sense morality is limited to its two fundamental features, or suppositions: moral judgements are truth apt and practical, i.e. they are at the same time in some sense objectively right or wrong and necessarily action guiding. In contemporary philosophy, the two fundamental features of common sense morality seem to be incompatible: only descriptions can have truth values, but descriptions are not prescriptions, or, to put it otherwise, from the way the things are, it does no

Šiandienėje filosofijoje šios dvi pamatinės sveiko proto moralės savybės atrodo esančios nesuderinamos: juk teisingumo reikšmes gali turėti tik deskripcijos, o deskripcijos nėra preskripcijos, arba iš to, kaip yra, tiesiogiai neseka tai, kaip turėtų būti.

Par contre, l’optimisme rationaliste qui recherche une interprétation intelligible ou idéaliste du monde aboutit à un fondement théorique, logique et moral de la vie, représentation appauvrissante, qui lui donne plutôt une forme décadente, rabougrie.

Abstract:

Modern theories of moral education question the truth of Socrates's belief which involves an idea of positive relationship between 'moral knowing' and 'doing'. As a result, such theories divide moral education between development of moral judgment and character training. However, the division of moral education invites a more puzzling philosophical perplexity such as the denial of a relationship between 'knowing' and 'doing'. The study proposes a theory of moral education which dissolves the philosophical perplexity, through a linguistic analysis of the words which constitute moral statements

I argue that contemporary philosophy of language in the analytic tradition rests on two fundamentally wrong assumptions: empiricism and externalism. After I show why these two assumptions are incorrect, I turn my attention to biological rationalism. Biological rationalism—a research program inspired by the work of Noam Chomsky—is committed to nativism and internalism. I believe biological rationalism provides the best framework to achieve a genuine understanding of language. I try to show this by considering the biological rationalist answers to major problems in philosophy of language.<br

This heuristic part leads to a hermeneutic part, in which the thought of the Anglo-Saxon philosopher is compared with that of Hans-Georg Gadamer - to whom he affirms to be widely indebted - in order to discern the proper of the Macintyrian researcher and that of his access to truth, which he considers as absolute.

Abstract:

L'étude des phénomènes sociaux actuels passe nécessairement par la reconnaissance du rôle de la technologie électronique dans l'ensemble des pratiques sociales. L'on parle, par exemple, d'une révolution culturelle pour montrer l'impact de la technologie numérique dans la vie quotidienne, mais quelles sont-elles vraiment les transformations qu'amène cette technologie à la socialité ? Les formes de vivre ensemble se sont transformées pour l'utilisation de la technologie numérique ? Voici les questions qu'on discute dans ce travail. Dans l'étude que nous présentons, l'on interprète ces transforma

Abstract:

Investeringar är grunden i ett företag och därmed är investeringsprocessen ett intressant fenomen att titta närmare på. Efter att ha studerat litteratur och tidigare forskning, som tar upp problematiken i investeringsprocessen, framkom att beslutsfattarens roll är en väsentlig del vid investeringsprocessen. Studien behandlar både beslutfattarens bakgrund och val som påverkar investeringsbeslutfattande i restaurangsbranschen, beslutfattarens bakgrund och val behandlas som påverkande respektive förklarande faktorer. Studien syftar på att ta reda på om och i vilken omfattning belutfattarens bakgr

Diese Dissertation unterstreicht die Rolle von Informationen bei der Erforschung ökonomischer Entscheidungen. Das erste Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit dem Zugang zu akkuraten Informationen über die Wirksamkeit medizinischer Interventionen. Unserem Model zufolge besteht in vielen entwickelten Ländern Nachfrage für Zugang zu unabhängigen medizinischen Informationen wie Cochrane Reviews. Wir schätzen, dass für viele Länder diese Nachfrage zu moderaten oder geringen Kosten erfüllt werden kann. Das zweite Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit der Kommunikation solcher Informationen und untersucht den unterstü

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, February 2007.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 105-108).<br>This thesis consists of three interconnected papers on apriority, modality, and conditionals. In "Playground Conditionals," I look at three philosophical debates, each of which turns on the epistemic status of a certain kind of conditional-what I call a playground conditional. I argue that a close consideration of playground conditionals gives us a better appreciation of what we can do with conditionals and, ultimately, some gui

Abstract:

À l'instar des associations, les coopératives et les mutuelles sont des sociétés de personnes, c'est-à-dire que le pouvoir est le résultat d'un processus électif reposant sur l'ensemble des caractéristiques sociales et professionnelles des personnes et non sur leurs seuls apports financiers à l'entreprise. En outre, ces entreprises sont caractérisées par une faible rémunération des apporteurs de capitaux puisque une part importante des bénéfices est affectée à des réserves impartageables qui sont la propriété durable de l'entreprise en tant que institution.

Abstract:

Pour agir rationnellement, il semble necessaire de disposer d'un savoir. En effet, la connaissance eclaire et guide notre action. Ainsi, socrate conclut-il a l'existence d'un lien logique entre le jugement et l'action de faire le bien: le choix du mal est fait par ignorance. Cependant, dans notre experience quotidienne, nous conferons un sens aux actions accomplies en connaissance de cause et avec la volonte de faire le mal. Sans doute, convient-il d'admettre l'idee selon laquelle nous pouvons connaitre un bien meilleur, et cependant, choisir un bien moins bon, parce qu'on n'a pas reussi a ide

Abstract:

Les études kantiennes peuvent se pencher sur l’œuvre de Kant, mais aussi sur sa réception et la manière dont le kantisme a contribué à faire surgir des réflexions philosophiques originales. Cette thèse explore cette deuxième voie, à travers le prisme particulier des circulations entre science, philosophie et épistémologie. Il s’agit de rendre compte de la manière dont des savants ont compris et utilisé Kant, au XIXe siècle en France.

« Quelle sociologie pour quelle démocratie ? Rationalité politique et émancipation » a pour ambition d’interroger les liens entre l’épistémologie, la théorie sociologique et la posture ou le type d’engagement du sociologue dans la cité. Il s’agit d’explorer les conditions de possibilité d’une théorie critique, non idéologique, mais fondée en raison sociologique.Une première partie, s’appuyant sur des recherches actions, s’intéresse à la question de la participation des citoyens. Un premier exemple, une sociologie du Théâtre de l’opprimé, montre comment ce type d’intervention peut être interpré

Abstract:

Within Shī ͑ī works of Sharī ͑a legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh) there is a theoretical space for reason as an independent source of normativity alongside the Qur’ān and the Prophetic tradition. This space stems from a meta-ethical moral rationalism considered fundamental to Shī ͑ī theology. The position holds that unmediated reason is capable of understanding the morally praiseworthy and the morally blameworthy independently of revelation. Describing themselves as ͑Adliyya (literally the people of Justice) this meta-ethical position allows the Shī ͑a to attribute a substantive rational conception
