Abstract:

To understand Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in modern terms, it is useful to go back several millennia to Aristotle’s ideas of what it takes to become fully and normally human. Victor Frankenstein’s creation acts like and is perceived to be a monster. As Aristotle noted millennia ago, a monster is a being that has not developed normally. Victor’s creature definitely did not develop normally, resulting in an incomplete being – something with the structure and material of a living, human type but without having gone through the process of emerging gradually and acquiring all the components to beco

Abstract:

The doctor–patient relationship that is at issue in assisted suicide should be governed by norms of justice, expressed in rights and obligations. An autonomy-based understanding of dignity provides no basis for just regulation of interpersonal relationships and in particular grounds no right to assistance in suicide. An understanding of dignity as intrinsic to human nature does provide a basis for the doctor–patient relationship, as for all interpersonal relationships, and one that is incompatible with accommodating in law the judgment that characteristically underpins requests for assistance

Abstract:

This chapter turns to conceptions of kinship in the Carolingian Empire, where the political order was practically the City of God on earth. It finds in Hrabanus Maurus’s De rerum naturis, “On the Natures of Things,” a Carolingian cognate of sociology which treated kinship as a manifestation of the deeper mystical forms of divine sociality binding the cosmos. It examines two lay authors, Dhuoda and Nithard, to demonstrate that laypeople essentially shared the ontological outlook of clerics like Hrabanus. Dhuoda’s handbook to her son William ruminates on the dialectic of worldly and spiritual fa

Abstract:

Desire plays a pivotal role in our lives. Yet in recent times, it has not been a central topic in the philosophy of mind. The aim of this book is to redress this imbalance. What are desires? According to a dogma, desire is a motivational state: desiring is being disposed to act. This conception aligns with the functionalist approach to desire and the standard account of desire’s direction of fit and of its role in explaining action. According to a second influential approach, however, desire is first and foremost an evaluation: desiring is representing something as good. This is in line with t

Abstract:

Conceptions of human nature fall under two broad categories, trait bin accounts and trait cluster accounts. Trait bin accounts take there to be a special bin of traits, one composed of all and only those traits constituting our nature. For those arguing for a trait bin account of human nature, the challenge is to articulate what it is that marks a trait as being inside or outside the bin. I argue that trait bin approaches to human nature are misguided, that there is no good way of dividing human traits into those that are a part of our nature and those that are not. Instead, I argue for a trai

Abstract:

Since India attained independence, its foreign policy discourse has imagined its South Asian neighbourhood through the politics of realism. This imagination explicates state interest in South Asia by establishing it as a space of sovereign territoriality. Even today, India’s foreign and security policies are primarily shaped by geopolitical centrism, and remain unaffected by economic prosperity and community concerns. As a part of the Oxford International Relations in South Asia series, this volume examines alternative conceptions of South Asian space in terms of geo-economics and community, a

Abstract:

Critical geopolitics is concerned with the geographical assumptions and designations that underlie the making of world politics. The goal of critical geopolitics is to elucidate and explain how political actors spatialize international politics and represent it as a “world” characterized by particular types of places. Eschewing the traditional question of how geography does or can influence politics, critical geopolitics foregrounds “the politics of the geographical specification of politics.” By questioning the assumptions that underpin geopolitical claims, critical geopolitics has evolved fr

The chapter then considers ways we might separate the plausible moral and prudential implications of such views from their less plausible metaphysical foundations by exploring the general category of expressive oneness and developing Freud’s distinction between illusion and delusi

A reason for elevating some loves over others appeals to certain conceptions of the place of love and sex in human nature. Such conceptions have clustered around three basic models: the puritan, Lawrentian, and pansexual models. The form of love designated as ‘what N

Any normative framework of risk imposition must include at its foundation an account of the nature of risk imposition.

The two main families of probability theory, objective and subjective, have opposite strengths and weaknesses as candidate conceptions of probability suitable for a normative framework of risk imposition.

The primary claim of this study is that when we come to understand the true nature of what we are as individuals and as a species, we cannot fail to acknowledge our connections and interdependencies with the rest of the world, and this can, does, and should incline us toward greater care for other people, creatures, and things. The conclusion warns us about some potentially bad forms of oneness and recalls earlier arguments showing how such mistaken conceptions violate established imperatives to present metaphysically, psychologically, and socially plausible views that can serve as the basis f

The third is the epistemological importance of some introspective judgments. The fourth is observation sentences (which include both objective [“a is F”] and subjective [“a looks F”] sentences).

Historians to date have paid little attention to the new civic, repertory, and university theatres that were built across Britain between the 1950s and the 1980s. This period saw debates about the nature of performance and the actor–audience relationship, but it also witnessed a significant change in the way that the arts were funded in Britain. The introduction of subsidy for the arts in the 1940s meant that certain kinds of theatre were increasingly understood as a public amenity. New conceptions of theatre’s purpose prompted new approaches to the design of theatre buildings, and the emergen

It is argued that theorists who disagree with one another about the metaphysics of ability can and should accept the three-part distinction. Topics addressed include a distinction between general and specific abilities, commitments of a commonsense conception of ability, differences between compatibilis

The three former metacultures assign religious meaning to the content of near-death experiences, affirming by and large the soul’s survival of death.

These thinkers’ ontological conceptions of sin as le néant informed their accounts of the human person and the nature of freedom.

Secondly, a possible metaphysical basis for anti-theodicy is sought, and this is achieved by abandoning anthropomorphic conceptions of God in favour of alternative models of divinity that might make possible new and more fruitful perspectives on the problem of evil.

Social concern theory (SCT) states that individuals are naturally inclined to show concern for the welfare of others, desire close ties to others, follow certain moral intuitions, and conform to the behavior and views of others. SCT describes the implications of these inclinations for crime. This essay begins by discussing the conceptions of human nature in different crime theories. It then describes the propositions of SCT, with the major proposition being that individuals high in the elements of social concern are generally less likely to engage in crime.
