The life and work of James Jepson Binns
No full textThis thesis is the first study of the life and work of Leeds organ builder James Jepson
Binns (1854-1929). It is not the intention to provide a full technological evaluation
of Binns' work, but rather to provide a historical evaluation of his work which is
placed into a wider historical context.
First, Binns' family background and life are examined; then his career in organ
building is traced from its beginnings as an apprentice to the firm Radcliffe and
Sagar at the age of 11. His time with Abbott and Co., prior to commencing organ
building in his own right, is assessed; and finally the origins and development of his
own company is traced from its founding in 1880 up to his death in 1929.
The examination of Binns' company is split into three distinct periods, mirroring its
rise and decline. Since Binns' first ledger book is considered to be lost, the author
has reconstructed what it is likely to have contained and has discussed its content
chronologically. The patents granted to Binns are also discussed chronologically and
placed into historical context. A survey of the company's work and output in each of
the three periods is given, with examples drawn from the surviving ledger books.
The decline of the company was partly as a result of the Great War and is given due
consideration.
Through this study of Binns' life and work, a picture emerges of the British organ
building industry from 1880 to 1930. In conclusion, an assessment is made of Binns'
place within this and the factors that contributed to his success
Justifying patents: a critique of the deontological approach
No full textThis thesis assesses philosophical arguments in favour of patent systems. These come in both consequentialist and deontological forms, the latter of which are the focus of this analysis. One kind of deontological argument is based on the concept of desert. I argue that on any plausible conception of desert, the patent system fails to distribute rewards as well as viable alternative systems could. The other kind of deontological argument claims that inventors are entitled to patent rights over their inventions as an extension of their natural rights, drawing on a Lockean account of the conditions of legitimate appropriation of unowned goods. After a discussion of the metaphysics of invention, and of the nature of the commons, I argue that Locke's conditions are not in fact always trivially satisfied in the case of patents. Furthermore, entitlement-based arguments conclude that because new inventions are unowned, claiming property rights in them involves only the same moral considerations that would apply in the state of nature. I argue that because we are not in the state of nature, pre-existing property rights also need to be taken into account, which conflict with patents. The broad conclusion of this thesis is that none of the plausible deontological arguments for patent systems are sound. The implication is that any justification of must therefore be made in consequentialist terms; this ultimately rests on strong empirical evidence rather than normative arguments alone
