Jeremy Waldron and the Philosopher\u27s Stone
No full textThe author considers Jeremy Waldron\u27s argument in favour of referring to, and on occasion perhaps even deferring to, foreign law. Waldron rests his argument on an analogy to how science works. The author argues this analogy is flawed. Indeed the author argues that Waldron\u27s position on this issue is inconsistent with his earlier writings on the undesirability of strong judicial review under an entrenched bill of rights
Waldron, The End Of Imperial Russia, 1855-1917
No full textThe End of Imperial Russia, 1855-1917, which is part of St. Martin's European History in Perspective series, analyzes the decades leading to the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. Peter Waldron focuses his attention on one of the most important and controversial eras in Russian history. Most historians of Russia agree that the changes and turmoil of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries set the stage for the events of 1917 and afterwards. In this work, Waldron divides his era into five major themes.
First, the Russian autocracy, often seen as one and the same with the state in Imperial Russia, initiates reform and counterreform. The author clearly shows that the nobility was not united, especially during the reign of Nicholas II (1894-1917). Some of the nobility supported reform, while others vehemently opposed it. Waldron emphasizes the reign of Nicholas II, while leaving the reform efforts of Alexander II (1855-1881) and the counterreform initiatives of Alexander III (1881-1894) relatively unexplored. A fuller explanation of the Great Reform era (1860s) and the Counterreform era (1880s) would have provided the reader with a better understanding when analyzing the end of the Romanov monarchy

Communicating emotion at work, by V. R. Waldron
No full textManage by numbers. This mantra and business philosophy is challenged by Waldron’s Communicating Emotion at Work. This text argues that the expression of emotion pervades organizational life, yet is often trumped by the emphasis on financial and other numerical data used for managerial decision making. Waldron emphasizes the expression of emotion rather than the source or appropriateness of any given emotion. Thus, the text situates communication in the foreground of the realm of emotion and organizational life. Waldron’s compilation collects information about emotional communication in organizational settings for a primarily undergraduate student audience. The author relies on empirical research examined over his career, anecdotes from students, and the research and writings of other qualified scholars. Waldron is highly qualified to author this book because of his research and his careful selection of support from other sources. These sources of information intersect in this book to present a current, thoughtful collection of issues attached to the communication of emotion at work.This book review was published as Coffelt, T., (2012, December).

A dignidade humana no pensamento de Jeremy Waldron
No full textThis work had the scope of presenting the work of Jeremy Waldron about human dignity. Care was taken to expose the author's conceptual proposal of dignity, understood as a legal status that refers to the ancient and historical notions of position (rank) and function (role), which were united with the modern conception of dignity, becoming together a leading concept and contributing enormously to an egalitarian theory of rights. Then, it was the accurate waldronian analysis about the idea that dignity is the foundation of human rights, demonstrating that the author scrutinizes the obstacles faced by the thesis, investigates what the proposition effectively means and tries, ultimately , clarify the role of dignity in human rights theory. Finally, the elements of distinctive value of dignity were clarified, through the review of decisions by higher courts and constitutional courts, carried out by Waldron (2018), in which the term would have added a value of its own to the legal arguments in which it appeared.NenhumaEste trabalho teve o escopo de apresentar a obra de Jeremy Waldron acerca da dignidade humana. Cuidou-se de expor a proposta conceitual de dignidade do autor, entendida como um status jurídico que remete às noções antigas e históricas de posição (rank) e função (role), que se uniram à moderna concepção de dignidade, tornando-se juntas um conceito líder e contribuindo enormemente para uma teoria igualitária de direitos. Em seguida, tratou-se da acurada análise waldroniana acerca da ideia de que a dignidade é o fundamento dos direitos humanos, demonstrando que o autor esquadrinha os obstáculos enfrentados pela tese, investiga o que a proposição, efetivamente, significa e tenta, em última instância, esclarecer o papel da dignidade na teoria dos direitos humanos. Finalmente, elucidou-se quais são os elementos de valor distintivo da dignidade, por meio da revisão de decisões de tribunais superiores e cortes constitucionais, realizada por Waldron (2018), nas quais o termo teria acrescentado um valor próprio aos argumentos jurídicos em que figurou

Rethinking the ghost story : TEDx talk Maldon
No full textGhost stories have been a part of human culture for centuries, captivating audiences with tales of the paranormal and supernatural. They are a powerful and ubiquitous part of our heritage, connected to stories of tragedy and darkness. Yet, all too often the emotional power of the ghost story becomes bogged down in a sceptics vs believers debate on the reality (or not) of the haunting experience. When we do so, we ignore the powerful cultural significance of those stories in folklore as signifiers of community trauma, guilt and injustice. It is time to shift the conversation towards a more meaningful and impactful discussion. Instead of focusing on the veracity of ghost stories, let us consider their roots in traumatic experiences and what they tell us about who we are and where we have come from. Dr David Waldron is a Senior Lecturer in History at Federation University Australia with a research focus on folklore and community heritage. A published author, Dr Waldron is regularly involved in public engagements, festivals, theatre, graphic novel writing and multi-media displays including Ballarat Heritage Festival. He is also the co-writer and researcher for the National Trust Australia People’s Choice award historical pod cast series “Tales from Rat City”. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community
La justicia constitucional desde la perspectiva de la filosofía de Jeremy Waldron y la experiencia venezolana reciente
No full textThe article reviews Jeremy Waldron’s theory about the legitimacy and moral authority of the various forms of constitutional justice. According to this theory, it is always illegitimate insofar as it violates the principle of majority decision, the only moral principle of legitimate legal authority.The author explains the conditions that, according to Waldron, a political community must gather so that his theory is applicable. He also ventures into forwarding some criticisms to the author regarding these conditions.Specially, the problem of the regressivity of Waldron’s argument and the problem of stability of his conditions are explored. However, it is assumed that Waldron’s theory off ers important contributions and a reflection is made in the face of the Venezuelan constitutional reality. Finally, a theoretical outline is used to combine the institution of constitutional justice with the most relevant criticisms of Waldron.El artículo repasa la teoría de Jeremy Waldron en torno a la legitimidad y autoridad moral de las diversas formas de justicia constitucional. Según esta teoría, la justicia constitucional siempre es ilegítima en la medida en que vulnera el principio de decisión mayoritaria, único de autoridad jurídica legítima. El autor expone las condiciones que, bajo el criterio de Waldron, debe reunir una comunidad política para que su teoría sea aplicable y ensaya algunas críticas al autor respecto de dichas condiciones.Especialmente, se contempla el problema de la regresividad del argumento de Waldron y el problema de la estabilidad que de las condiciones que el propio autor sugiere. Sin embargo, se asume que esta teoría ofrece aportes importantes y se hace una refl exión de ellos de cara a la realidad constitucional venezolana. Finalmente, se ensaya un bosquejo teórico que permita conjugar la institución de la justicia constitucional con las críticas más pertinentes de Waldron
