Abstract:

This chapter explores the Article 6 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which describes the appointment of the head of the diplomatic mission to a foreign state. In essence, the Article expresses that an agrément or approval must be given to the person chosen to be head of the mission, and that the receiving State cannot give reasons to refuse the agrément. The Convention prescribes no form or method for requesting or granting agrément. In addition, the chapter elaborates the reasons for refusal of agrément. It is generally accepted that approval should relate to the proposed head

Abstract:

The general rule in Brussels 2012 and Lugano 2007 is that all judgments from other Member States or Lugano States must be recognized unless there is a reason why they should not be. This chapter discusses those reasons. The grounds for refusal set out in the instruments apply to both recognition and enforcement of a judgment. However, in the case of enforcement, the judgment-debtor may also invoke grounds that apply under national law for the non-enforcement of national judgments — for example, that the judgment has been satisfied. This is not possible with regard to recognition: recognition m

Abstract:

Food refusal is common in early life for a variety of reasons that include parental anxiety and forced feeding. From about 6 weeks of age, infants regulate their energy intake according to energy needs. Newborns prefer sweet-tasting feed and at 3–5 months readily accept new tastes. At 12–18 months fear of new foods (neophobia) develops. Self-feeding by the end of the first year should be encouraged and the child allowed to be messy and enjoy meal times. Repeated exposure to a food is the best way of it becoming accepted. Faddy/picky eating is most likely to occur around 18 months of age. There

Despite the explosion of social and nationalist unrest all over the country in late 1918, in a matter of several months the Bolsheviks lost their case. The key reasons for their failure were their military defeat by German, Lithuanian, and Polish troops, but also economic mismanagement, the refusal to distribute land to peasants, and an inability to present their revol

This chapter examines conscientious objection in health care, with a specific focus on end-of-life care. It begins with a brief historical overview and identifies distinguishing characteristics of refusals to provide a medical service that are instances of conscientious objection (conscience-based refusals). Several reasons are presented for accommodating conscience-based refusals, and it is maintained that the primary reason is to enable health professionals to maintain their moral integrity. Two extreme approaches to managing conscience-based refusals are critically analyzed, and a middle-gr

Abstract:

This volume asks a question that is deceptive in its simplicity: Could international law have been otherwise? In other words, what were the past possibilities, if any, for a different law? The search for contingency in international law is often motivated, including in the present volume, by the refusal to accept the present state of affairs and by the hope that recovering possibilities of the past will facilitate a different future. The volume situates the search for contingency theoretically and within many fields of international law, such as human rights and armed conflict, migrants and re

Abstract:

A challenging examination of Japanese war crimes during World War II offers a fresh perspective on the Pacific War—and a better understanding of reasons for the wartime use of extreme mass violence. The 1937 Rape of Nanjing has become a symbol of Japanese violence during the Second World War, but it was not the only event during which the Japanese used extreme force. This thought-provoking book analyzes Japan’s actions during the war, without blaming Japan, helping readers understand what led to those eruptions. In fact, the author specifically disputes the idea that the forms of extreme viole

Lucretius’s didactic masterpieceDe rerum naturaadvances propositions, drawn from Epicurus, which the Renaissance book-hunter Poggio Bracciolini and his contemporaries found difficult to absorb. Epicurus’s convictions included an insistence on the superiority of reason over faith, a steadfast refusal of pious fear, a concomitant refusal to believe in afterlife, a belief in the mortality of the soul, a rejection of religion, and an advocacy of the pursuit of pleasure. To many orthodox Christians such arguments were the very definition of atheism. This article examines three responses toDe rerum

Abstract:

This book explores the connection between the so-called robber barons who led American big businesses during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era and the immigrants who composed many of their workforces.

And in the era of American industrialization, employers both relied on immigrants to meet their growing labor needs and blamed them for the frequently violent workplace

Abstract:

The most common method that US state governments use to restrict access to exemptions from school and daycare vaccine mandates is to provide exemptions only to people who object to vaccination for religious reasons. However, there are moral reasons for states not to prioritize vaccine exemptions for religious objectors. They should also offer personal belief exemptions. Furthermore, states should not try to restrict exemptions by focusing on the reasons (religious or otherwise) that people give for objecting to vaccines. It would be better to focus on the intensity of an objector’s commitment

Abstract:

In The Marginal Self: An Existential Inquiry into Narcissism, drawing from existential philosophy, psychiatry and literature, René J. Muller characterizes what he sees as the phenomenon of marginality—the failure to become one’s most authentic and best self. This refusal often involves denying one’s freedom, the essence of being human, even as that freedom is ironically misused in negating it. Muller argues that the Judeo-Christian tradition and the reliance on reason as a transcendent absolute, both bedrocks of Western culture for over 2,000 years, no longer provide a satisfactory foundation

The second Ennead deals with “natural philosophy, including the physical universe and subjects connected with it” (VP 24.37–39). Because Plotinus is generally thought to have had little interest in the workings of the sensible world, it is not surprising that this part of his work has attracted relatively little attention on the part of modern scholarship. However, a careful reading of its contents reveals its crucial importance for understanding his philosophy as a whole. The reason

Abstract:

This chapter reflects on the growing influence of mediation, the features of which may provide a source of inspiration for arbitration to evolve. It argues that arbitrators have the power to stay the arbitration so as to offer a ‘mediation window’. It follows that, in exercising their discretion on costs, arbitrators should be entitled to ‘sanction’ the successful party and deprive him of some or all of his costs by reason of his failure to engage with a mediation proposal and/or refusal to mediate.

Highlighting the importance of freedom and creativity at the heart of reason (Vernunft), Daniel Adsett analyzes examples of delusional thought through a Jaspersian lens.

The reason for this rule is that the change of obligor may considerably affect the obligee's position. Therefore, the change may not be imposed on the obligee.

Sartre rejects ‘freedom’ as a ‘sufficient reason’ for the world’s ills: it is the source of too many of them. Moreover, the resulting Sartrean pessimism is more extreme than that of his Jansenist predecessors. The for-itself is free to the extent that it

Secondly, von der Hardt refused to present the Book of Jonah as a prediction of Christ’s coming, as was usually done before him. Instead, he adopted a strictly historical interpretation that avoided delving into the mysteries of divine providence and explained the book as series of practical, moral

The first half of the chapter considers several different interpretations of this constraint and argues that none poses a problem for paternalistic intervention that promotes neutral goods such as health or financial security.
