Abstract

This book explores the epistemic dimension of right action within the framework of analytic philosophy, focusing on the significance of perspective in determining moral actions. It contrasts objectivism, which asserts that right actions are determined by all objective features of a situation, with perspectivism, which emphasizes the importance of individual perspective in moral deliberation. The author argues that facts beyond one's perspective cannot guide or motivate action, challenging the traditional objectivist view. This work, based on the author's doctoral thesis, is intended for scholars and students of philosophy, particularly those interested in ethics and the theory of normativity.

Abstract

"Readers of Theodor Adorno often have understood him as a "totalizing negativist." If it truly is the case that Adorno saw modern society as a realm of complete falsehood, however, his own social theory is unintelligible. In A Precarious Happiness, Peter E. Gordon aims to redeem Adorno from this negativist interpretation by showing that it arises from a basic misunderstanding of his work. Pushing against entrenched interpretations, Gordon argues that Adorno's philosophy is animated by a deep attachment to a concept of happiness or human flourishing, and it is only by virtue of that normative standard that Adorno judges the world a catastrophic failure. Through a comprehensive reading of Adorno's work, A Precarious Happiness shows that in an imperfect world, the available standards of our flourishing are also imperfect. Looking beyond Adorno, Gordon suggests that the practice of social criticism, even if it is directed toward exposing what is "false," cannot succeed without appealing to an unrealized notion of what would be right"--

Abstract

"Exploring Practical Knowledge investigates professional practices from a hermeneutic perspective. The book presents, discusses and applies notions such as practical knowledge, practical wisdom, tacit knowledge, and normativity to the professional lifeworld. These contributions focus on both specific practices and more general questions concerning theories and investigations of practice. This volume comes as the result of a cooperation of three research centres: The two Centres for Practical Knowledge in Bodø, Norway and in Södertörn, Sweden, as well as the Research Group Value-Oriented Professionalisation at the University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht, the Netherlands. It offers empirical studies of professionals as well as discussing the underlying theories, approaches and methods of exploring practical knowledge - including the limits to any articulation of these aspects of professional action. In contrast to the objectivist paradigm that otherwise dominates professional studies, each chapter presents central perspectives and possibilities drawing from humanistic and interdiscipkinary research traditions. The book explores professions in a style accessible to scholars and practitioners alike. It is interesting for those studying practices within these professions and for vocational studies in education, social work, health care, police work, journalism, etc"--

Abstract

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie die ausgezeichnete normative Funktion, die unser vernünftiges Denken und Handeln normiert, ursprünglich konstituiert wird, indem es Husserls und Wittgensteins Spätphilosophie systematisch vergleicht. Jeweils in ihrer späten Phase interessierten sich sowohl Husserl als auch Wittgenstein für die Frage, auf welchem Fundament die Normativität der Logik und Mathematik fußt, diejenige Normativität also, die uns am meisten streng, daher grundlegend erscheint. Bei der Beantwortung dieser Frage haben beide recht ähnliche Programme entwickelt, nämlich einen Rückgang auf die vorwissenschaftlich-alltagspraktische Ebene, die Husserl mit dem Begriff der Lebenswelt und Wittgenstein mit dem der Lebensform erfasst. Dieser Rückgang ist in Wirklichkeit nichts anderes als der Versuch, die Konstitution der Normativität auf die Konstitution der Normalität zurückzuführen. Die entscheidende Frage lautet nun: Wie und wodurch wird Normalität konstituiert? Der Autor stellt detailliert dar, wie ähnlich, aber auch wie unterschiedlich Husserl und Wittgenstein diese Frage zu beantworten versuchen. Dabei wird auch gezeigt, wie die beiden Erklärungsmodelle einander produktiv ergänzen können. Das Verdienst dieses Buchs ist zweierlei: Es ist die erste philosophische Monografie, die das komplexe Verhältnis zwischen Normativität und Normalität systematisch untersucht. Dieses Thema ist bislang wenig erforscht, aber zieht gerade in der gegenwärtigen Philosophie zunehmend ein breites Interesse auf sich. Gleichzeitig ist es die erste Studie in Monografielänge, die Husserls und Wittgensteins Spätphilosophie nicht sporadisch, sondern durchgehend systematisch vergleichend darstellt.

Abstract

The Handbook of Bioethical Decisions Volume II addresses and analyzes the most important ethical concerns and moral quandaries related to scientific integrity and institutional ethics. It counts on two parts, Part One: Research Ethics, which addresses issues related to Scientific Integrity, Research Misconduct and Conducting Ethical Research, and Part Two: Institutional Ethics and Bioethics Committees, which explores Institutional Ethics issues, Ethics and Bioethics Committees’ roles and scopes, and Bioethical Issues in Institutional Ethics. Consequently, the Handbook, Vol. II, offers a remarkable collection of works by outstanding international experts on institutional and research ethics, in order for bioethics practitioners to obtain better elements to address key issues related to integrity in research as well as to decision-making processes. In this fashion, this volume is a valuable resource for professionals working on different bioethical and biomedical fields, such as, ethics and bioethics committees, health care institutions, biomedical and pharmacological companies, and academic settings, among others.

Abstract

"Depuis la fin des années 1980, les pratiques et théories queers ont critiqué les dynamiques de normalisation liées aux dominations cisgenres et hétéropatriarcales. Mais à cette critique a succédé une position purement déconstructrice des normes de la sexualité, au point que la nouvelle norme est devenue le refus de toute norme. En distinguant normalisation et normativité, Pierre Niedergang affirme que la critique de la normalisation, bien légitime, n’implique pas une position antinormative mais au contraire une « normativité queer ». Après avoir étudié les impasses de l’antinormativité, notamment concernant les violences sexuelles, l’auteur décrit cette normativité queer : critique, communautaire et vitale. Reconnaître cette inventivité normative à l’œuvre dans nos communautés permettrait de construire une perspective queer féministe consciente de la dimension matérielle des oppressions et des rapports de pouvoir qui se nouent au cœur de nos relations, de nos corporéités et de nos sexualités." --

Abstract

This book offers an interdisciplinary introduction to value theory. It reviews how researchers in four academic disciplines – psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy – understand value and value change. It offers an introduction for researchers in these disciplines about how other disciplines define, theorize, and investigate value(s) to foster interdisciplinary communication. The book identifies and summarizes similarities and differences of value theory between the academic disciplines and highlights promising areas where each discipline can learn from the others. Steffen Steinert is Assistant Professor in the Ethics and Philosophy section at Delft University of Technology. In his research, he focuses on fundamental theoretical issues of ethics and philosophy of technology - particularly the relation between values and technology, and the link between emotions and technology. Steffen’s work is published in top-tier peer-reviewed journals and he teaches philosophy and ethics to diverse audiences.

Abstract

This book emphasizes that Nietzsche was still working on an unfinished manuscript until the last weeks before his collapse. It is unlikely that he would have returned to and continued Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but he considered publishing the fourth part (which had not yet been published) as a bridge between Zarathustra and the unfinished Revaluation of All Values. More importantly, during his last years he worked hard on revaluing values, often in line with what he had written in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This present study performs detailed analyses of Nietzsche’s texts and late notes to examine the direction of that unfinished work; it will function as a stimulus to further research on the direction, interpretation and consequences of Nietzsche’s late thought. Thomas Brobjer is a professor in the Department of the History of Ideas at Uppsala University, Sweden. He has written several books on Nietzsche: Nietzsche’s Ethics of Character (1995), Nietzsche and the 'English': The Influence of British and American Thinking on His Philosophy (2008), Nietzsche's Philosophical Context: An Intellectual Biography (2008) and Nietzsche’s ‘Ecce Homo’ and the Revaluation of All Values (2021). He has also written a large number of articles on different aspects of Nietzsche’s thought and on his influences, especially emphasizing Nietzsche’s reading and his library. Together with Gregory Moore he has edited the book Nietzsche and Science (2004). He is at present working on different aspects of the late Nietzsche’s thought.
