Abstract

"Fair Opportunity and Responsibility lies at the intersection of moral psychology and criminal jurisprudence and analyzes responsibility and its relations to desert, culpability, excuse, blame, and punishment. It links responsibility with the reactive attitudes but makes the justification of the reactive attitudes depend on a response-independent conception of responsibility. Responsibility and excuse are inversely related; an agent is responsible for misconduct if and only if it is not excused. Consequently, we can study responsibility by understanding excuses. We excuse misconduct when an agent's capacities or opportunities are significantly impaired, because these capacities and opportunities are essential if agents are to have a fair opportunity to avoid wrongdoing. This conception of excuse tells us that responsibility itself consists in agents having suitable cognitive and volitional capacities-normative competence-and a fair opportunity to exercise these capacities free from undue interference-situational control. Because our reactive attitudes and practices presuppose the fair opportunity conception of responsibility, this supports a predominantly retributive conception of blame and punishment that treats culpable wrongdoing as the desert basis of blame and punishment. We can then apply the fair opportunity framework to assessing responsibility and excuse in circumstances of structural injustice, situational influences in ordinary circumstances and in wartime, insanity and psychopathy, immaturity, addiction, and crimes of passion. Though fair opportunity has important implications for each issue, treating them together allows us to explore common themes and appreciate the need to take partial responsibility and excuse seriously in our practices of blame and punishment"--

Abstract

La notion de sens appelle de nombreuses interrogations. Quelle est sa vraie nature? Est-il un produit préstructuré, préalable à l'expérience humaine, qui existe indépendamment des volontés et des intentions humaines, voire séparément des rapports interactionnels sociaux? Ou bien n'est-ce que le simple résultat des états mentaux relatifs à notre système conceptuel qui s'activent lors de son interaction permanente avec notre entourage socioculturel? Si ce n'est qu'une affaire de traitement computationnel de l'information, comment est-il alors généré et coconstruit lorsqu'il s'agit de communication? Ce sont là des questions qui animent la réflexion proposée dans ce livre qui cherche à retracer les structures représentationnelles sémantico-conceptuelles susceptibles de mobiliser les formes linguistiques réalisées lors de l'interaction verbale.

Abstract

"A number of Western states and institutions have sought to come to terms with their relationships to non-Western states and peoples. Powerful actors and institutions are apologizing to the relatively powerless. What do these apologies mean? Are they an indication of a new international order, either politically or as they relate to international law? Or are these apologies fleeting and insignificant? In The Age of Apology twenty-two law, politics, and human rights scholars explore the legal, political, social, historical, moral, religious, and anthropological aspects of Western apologies in an attempt to answer these questions. Conversely, a nonapology might be as important to study, and several chapters discuss the absence or refusal of apology and how this might be interpreted."--Publisher description. "In a turnabout of the cynical belief that might makes right, nations now see fit to issue apologies to peoples and countries they have wronged. We live in an age that seeks to establish political truth, perhaps best exemplified by the creation of truth commissions in societies seeking to emerge from dictatorial pasts. The most noteworthy result of these efforts has been the near-universal realization that a society will not be able successfully to pass into the future until it somehow deals with the horrors of its past.

Abstract

Dit boekje leert u op een goede manier omgaan met fouten. U bent tenslotte maar een mens en fouten maken is menselijk. Belangrijk is dat u de verantwoordelijkheid durft te nemen. Dat u de fout niet wegmoffelt, maar oprecht excuses aanbiedt, actief zoekt naar een oplossing en nagaat wat u ervan kunt leren. Hier leert u stapsgewijs hoe u dat het beste kunst aanpakken. Ook de leidinggevende speelt in dit proces een belangrijke rol. Wie zijn medewerkers straft voor gemaakte fouten, bereikt alleen dat zij hun fouten angstvallig voor hem verboreen houden. Als ze in plaats daarvan wel voor hun fouten durven uitkomen, geeft u hen de kans om te ontwikkelen en de dingen te verbeteren. U kunt hen daarbij helpen door hen te stimuleren zelf een oplossing te vinden en na te gaan hoe herhaling valt te voorkomen. En dat zal ook de organisatie ten goede komen.
