Javni um i perfekcionizam: komentari na Kvongovu knjigu Liberalizam bez savršenstva
No full textLiberalism Without Perfection elaborates a generally Rawlsian conception of public justification in order to defend antiperfectionist liberalism.
This critical response raises questions about the link between the two parts of the project. On the hand, it is possible to reject that demand that reasons
for political decisions pass a qualified acceptability requirement even if one is strictly opposed to paternalism. On the other hand, the commitment to public justifiability does not rule out all perfectionism, if there are some claims about the good that are not reasonably rejectable
Political theology : possibility of comparison of the usage of death in theology and politics
No full textRazmotrena je saznajna vrednost pojma politička teologija u tanatopolitici i zaključeno da kod tumačenja političke upotrebe smrti ovaj pojam može biti koristan. Ne samo otuda što je granica između politike i teologije nejasna, nego i zbog opštije, dublje društvenointegrativne srodnosti politike i teologije i raznovrsnih prošlih i savremenih politizacija onostranog spasenja. Iako tumačenje smrti u političkoj teologiji ima drugačiju ulogu nego u svetovnim ideologijama, kod svake političke teologije je poslušnost vlasti uslov spasenja. U njenom idejnom središtu prožimaju se podele na javnog prijatelja i neprijatelja iz ovostranog političkog sa sličnim podelama iz onostranog sveta. Osim uticaja teologije na politiku razmotrene su i neke analogije između teologije i svetovnog pravosuđa
Medical ethics and the future: the case of patient war
No full textНамера овог текста је да на примеру научнофантастичне серије „Звездане стазе” укаже на непролазност оних дилема медицинске етике које и савременост поставља пред нас. Закључује се да нови научнотехнолошки изазови, које ће несумњиво донети будућност, не мењају основну структуру биоетичких питања и, стога, ни потенцијалне одговоре који се уопште могу артикулисати и кохерентно заступати.This article raises the following questions: will the problems that are being addressed by contemporary medical ethics and bioethics change in the time to come and will their current conceptual frameworks become outdated or will imminent technological and social developments pose new challenges that will not have to be answered by the adoption of
entirely new ethical concepts? These issues are being addressed on the basis of the materials that are offered to us by the science fiction serial Star Trek, which is taken as representative of the future. Special attention is given to one of its episodes (called Ethics), an episode that appears to test the physician-patient relationship, the conduct of medical research and the use of its results, the right to assisted suicide, as well as other traditions of moral thinking in medicine in the light of their future status. The moral dilemmas of this futuristic story appear
strikingly similar to those we face nowadays. Moreover, it is apparently impossible to imagine a different discourse, in spite of the fact that characters and their environment in the story are very different from those we are acquainted with in real life. Hence, it can be concluded
that moral problems related to scientific and medical problems from the future, if at all imaginable, are unlikely to differ substantially from the ones we currently know. In other words, new bio-technological developments might only radicalize some ethical questions, but the
answers to them and the arguments in favour of their (un)acceptability appear available alread
Nomadic Avant-Garde in Argentina: The Curious Case of Washington Cucurto
No full textThis essay represents a new and young Argentine writer, Washington Cucurto. While dwelling on aesthetics and politics of his writing, the author concludes that the question of newness risks becoming a commodity emptied out of any meaning. It poses the question if avant-garde is still possible
Deliberative and non-deliberative persuasion: Mechanisms of opinion formation in EuroPolis
No full textFrom a normative vantage point, post-deliberative opinions should be linked to the quality of arguments presented during discussion. Yet, there is a dearth of research testing this claim. Our study makes a first attempt to overcome this deficiency. By analyzing a European deliberative poll on third country migration, we explore whether statements backed by reason affect opinions, which we term deliberative persuasion. We contrast deliberative persuasion to non-deliberative persuasion, whereby we explore whether the most frequently repeated position influences opinions. We find that with regard to regularization of irregular immigrants, deliberative persuasion took place. In the context of European involvement in immigration affairs, however, opinions are driven by the most frequently repeated position rather than by the quality of argumentation
Stvarna institucija. Dokument i realizam
No full textRegardless of the fact that I am using certain texts by Searle, Fer- raris, Smith and De Soto, my intention is not at all to reiterate someone else’s position in my own words, nor is it to question or modify some such position. My intention for now is to, using Ferraris’ theory of the document, affirm the existence of a paradox - one rejected by Searle, but unconvincingly so, I think - regarding the institution (or the institutionalization of the institution). In order to do that, it seems to me that I am forced to slightly disturb both Searle’s and Ferraris’ conception, in attempting to offer my own contribution to a new future theory of the institution
Presecanje Gordijevog čvora svetskog siromaštva : aleksandrijsko rešenje Tomasa Pogea
No full textU ovom radu autor analizira hipotezu Tomasa Pogea prema kojoj pojedinačni građani razvijenih zemalja povređuju negativno pravo siromašnih u svetu da im se ne nanosi nepravda tako što učestvuju u međunarodnom institucionalnom sistemu. Autor, međutim, pokazuje da je ovakav argument neopravdan, jer Poge pravi skok od kolektivne odgovornosti ka pojedinačnoj odgo- vornosti. Autor najpre kanonski izlaže Pogeov argument i potom ukazuje na neopravdani skok. Nakon toga, autor razmatra dva predloga koja bi mogla da upotpune Pogeov argument; ipak, autor pokazuje da su oba predloga nezadovoljavajuća. Prvi predlog argument na osnovu učestvovanja sadrži dve pojmovne neadekvatnosti; povrh toga, ako bismo prihvatili ovaj argument, onda bismo morali da priznamo i jednu implikaciju koja je krajnje nepoželjna. Oslanjajući se na argument Tomasa Nejgela o „vladavini u naše ime“, autor dalje razvija Pogeov drugi predlog argument na osnovu političkog predstavljanja
koji nastoji da premosti jaz u Pogeovom razmišljanju. Problemi pogrešnog i nedovoljnog predstavljanja, autor pokazuje, podrivaju i ovaj predlog
Posleratni kapitalizam
No full textU radu ću nastojati da na veoma koncizan način prikažem razvoja kapitalizma nakon Drugog svetskog rata. Specifična istorijska konstelacija u posleratnom periodu omogućila je razvoj kejnzijanskog projekta kao odgovor na krizu Velike depresije. Međutim, usled inherentnih kontradikcija kapitali- stičkog sistema, kejnzijanski projekat se iscrpio do početka 1970-ih godina što je uzrokovalo novom krizom. Ovo je otvorilo put za povratak neoliberalne teorije i neoliberalne politike koja dominira i danas
