The monograph deals with urgent problems of the ethics of human dignity on the basis of the views of human dignity in historical and philosophical thought, revealing the ethics of virtue and ethics of duty, leading to the search for the meaning and value of life. The study of human dignity as an ethical category and phenomenon in the context of individual and social ethics leads to the assertion that at the present stage of human existence in a rapidly changing world ethics, human dignity becomes the dominant consciousness, and is a special moral value. Addressed to all who are intereste

Abstract:

How ought we to live with new technologies? What future do we want in light of the many changes they bring to human existence? At a time when responsible innovation is on everyone’s lips and academics turn to applied ethics to tackle these issues, this book questions the lack of a strong and coherent ethics of the self within the current discipline of the philosophy of technology. Drawing on Jean-Paul Sartre’s existential phenomenology, Michel Foucault’s biopolitics, and Bernard Stiegler’s philosophy of the amateur, Amélie Berger-Soraruff examines the crucial importance of developing a politic

Abstract:

There is a consensus about the existence of an international right to vote in democratic elections. Yet states disagree about the limits of this right when it comes to the case of prisoners’ disenfranchisement. Some states allow all prisoners to vote, some disenfranchise all prisoners, and others allow only some prisoners to vote. This chapter argues that national courts view the international right to vote in three fundamentally different ways: some view it as an inalienable right that cannot be taken away, some view it merely as a privilege that doesn’t belong to the citizens, and others vie

Abstract:

In its first five chapters, this book offers a comparative assessment of Søren Kierkegaard and Martin Heidegger, drawing out both similarities and differences. In the remaining three chapters, their views are subject to critique. The interpretation focuses on certain key ideas that are central to both thinkers, such as ‘life in the crowd’ or ‘das Man’; how this uniformity can be avoided; and what an authentic life requires instead. The critique argues that Kierkegaard holds that the only way to escape life in the crowd is through a relation to an infinite demand which is left empty, and Heideg

Abstract:

Brentano’s theory of judgment serves as a springboard for his conception of reality, indeed for his ontology. It does so, indirectly, by inspiring a very specific metaontology. To a first approximation, ontology is concerned with what exists, metaontology with what it means to say that something exists. So understood, metaontology has been dominated by three views: (i) existence as a substantive first-order property that some things have and some do not, (ii) existence as a formal first-order property that everything has, and (iii) existence as a second-order property of existents’ distinctive

Abstract:

In this Introduction the central themes of the Evaluative Perception volume are set out. After identifying historical and recent contemporary work on this topic, some central questions are discussed under three headings: (1) Questions about the Existence and Nature of Evaluative Perception: Are there perceptual experiences of values? If so, what is their nature? Are experiences of values sui generis? Are values necessary for certain kinds of experience? (2) Questions about the Epistemology of Evaluative Perception: Can evaluative experiences ever justify evaluative judgements? Are experiences

Abstract:

This chapter considers Keith Allen’s heroic primitivism and Derek Brown’s layering view. Both views hold that our experience of a color can vary with perspective, without that variation entailing any error or illusion. But Allen rejects one of the core theses of the hybrid view; he takes the existence of widespread agreement about rough objective colors to suggest that disagreements about precise color appearances reflect a lack of precision in our visual systems, rather than the absence of a precise fact of the matter. That is, he seems to hold that there is always a precise and determinate f

Abstract:

Evaluation is ubiquitous. Indeed, it isn't an exaggeration to say that we assess actions, character, events, and objects as good, cruel, beautiful, etc., almost every day of our lives. Although evaluative judgement—for instance, judging that an institution is unjust—is usually regarded as the paradigm of evaluation, it has been thought by some philosophers that a distinctive and significant kind of evaluation is perceptual. For example, in aesthetics, some have claimed that adequate aesthetic judgement must be grounded in the appreciator's first-hand perceptual experience of the item judged. I

Full text

Abstract:

Anti-materialist arguments such as the knowledge argument, the conceivability argument, and the explanatory gap argument do not establish the existence of brute phenomenal facts about consciousness. First, those arguments work by exploiting specific features of the physical, which some nonphenomenal entities might lack. Even if the arguments establish an ontological gap between the physical and the phenomenal, they do not establish a gap between the nonphenomenal and the phenomenal. But they would have to establish such a gap to show that there are brute phenomenal facts. Second, the arguments

Abstract:

How do the views developed in this book connect with traditional work in analytic metaphysics on time? After giving a potted history of the field, the chapter then displays many connections and modifications between that work and the present one. It highlights one major problem with traditional analytic philosophy of time, namely, its focus on bare existence, i.e., what events exist as of when. Almost by definition, existence will play no role in science, so philosophy of time will never be threatened by scientific results. The irony about this maneuver is that creating this safety zone around

Abstract:

This chapter reexamines Baumgarten’s definition of “existence” with an eye to evaluating Kant’s criticisms of this definition in his pre-Critical writings. Fugate shows that Baumgarten sharply distinguishes existence, as a specific content, from actuality, as the determination of that same content, in a way that has gone unnoticed by previous commentators. After explaining the implications of this discovery for our understanding of Baumgarten’s view of existence in general, Fugate uses it to reconstruct Baumgarten’s version of the ontological argument. Fugate highlights the originality of Baum

Abstract:

This chapter explores how the particular conditions in which conservation biologists conduct their studies can provide a narrow and possibly misleading view of endangered species. Orangutans are a good example. Generally viewed by scientists as ecological specialists of primary rainforests with limited human influence, orangutans may in fact be ecologically and behaviorally adapted to human disturbance, shaped by 60 000 years of co-existence with modern humans. Orangutan scientists have been slow in embracing these views, which has hampered the development of more effective approaches to conse

This sets the stage for discussing his theories concerning the genesis of our beliefs about objects (his postulationalism) and the nature of reference to objects (his ontological relativity).

Abstract:

This chapter sets out to establish that Nietzsche’s other commitments do not preclude his having been an expressivist. This needs to be done because commentators often attribute to Nietzsche sceptical views about the very existence or possibility of agency—views which, if he held them and they were true, would undercut any substantive approach to the philosophy of agency (empiricism just as much as expressivism). The chapter considers a variety of these sceptical views and argues that Nietzsche held none of them; it then addresses some preliminary evidence for the conclusion that he was not ju

Abstract:

Two views of the nature of holiness are outlined in this chapter. According to one, which we may call ontological or essentialist, holy places, persons, times, and objects are ontologically distinct from (and religiously superior to) profane places, persons, times, and objects. This distinction is part of the universe. On the second view, holy places, persons, times, and objects are in no objective way distinct from profane places, persons, times, and objects; holiness is a status, not a quality of existence. It is a challenge, not a given; normative, not descriptive. It is institutional (in t

Hume’s thesis that reason and passion cannot be opposed depends in part on his defense of the claim that because passions do not represent, they cannot oppose the representations, or beliefs, that reason yields. Hume’s characterization of the passions as “original existences,” which do not refer to anything outside of themselves, is remarkable. For it does seem, contrary to Hume’s other words, that passions have intentionality and make reference to their objects; it also appears that Hume is inconsistent, since he explicitly depicts indirect passions as having objects.
