Es que el Santo Padre Francisco firmó el pasado 18 de octubre de 2016 el nuevo Estatuto de la Pontificia Academia para la Vida (PAV), el cual entró en vigor el 1º de enero del 2017. La Pontificia Academia para la Vida, con sede en el Estado de la Ciudad del Vaticano, fue instituida por el Papa San Juan Pablo II con el Motu Proprio Vitae mysterium, del 11 de febrero de 1994. Tiene por finalidad la defensa y la pro- moción del valor de la vida humana y de la dignidad de la persona. Además, entre sus deberes específicos se destacan: estudiar, desde un punto de vista interdisciplinario, los problemas referentes a la promoción y defensa de la vida humana; formar en una cultura de la vida a través de oportunas iniciativas, siempre en el pleno respeto del Magisterio de la Iglesia; informar de manera clara y tempestiva a los respon- sables de la Iglesia, a las diversas institu- ciones de ciencias biomédicas y a las organizaciones socio-sanitarias, sin olvi- dar a los medios de comunicación y a la comunidad civil en general, acerca de los resultados más relevantes de sus propias actividades de estudio y de investigación.

  • Life and Learning Xix
    LIFE AND LEARNING XIX PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINETEENTH UNIVERSITY FACULTY FOR LIFE CONFERENCE at THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS SCHOOL OF LAW MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 2009 edited by Joseph W. Koterski, S.J. KOTERSKI LIFE AND LEARNING XIX UFL University Faculty for Life University Faculty for Life was founded in 1989 to promote research, dialogue, and publication among faculty members who respect the value of human life from its inception to natural death, and to provide academic support for the pro-life position. Respect for life is especially endangered by the current cultural forces seeking to legitimize such practices as abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, and physician-assisted suicide. These topics are controversial, but we believe that they are too important to be resolved by the shouting, the news-bites, and the slogans that often dominate popular presentation of these issues. Because we believe that the evidence is on our side, we would like to assure a hearing for these views in the academic community. The issues of abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia have many dimensions–political, social, legal, medical, biological, psychological, ethical, and religious. Accordingly, we hope to promote an inter-disciplinary forum in which such issues can be discussed among scholars. We believe that by talking with one another we may better understand the values we share and become better informed in our expression and defense of them. We are distressed that the media often portray those favoring the value of human life as mindless zealots acting out of sectarian bias. We hope that our presence will change that image. We also believe that academicians united on these issues can encourage others to speak out for human life in their own schools and communities.

Judith Jarvis Thomson on abortion; a libertarian perspective1 I. Introduction Abortion is one of the most vexing issues faced by society. On the one hand, there are those who favor the pro-choice position. In their view, the woman, and she alone (along with the advice of her doctor – but the final decision must be hers), should be able to legally determine on what basis, and whether, her pregnancy should be conducted. She should be as free to end her pregnancy at any stage of the development of her fetus, or give birth to it after the usual term of nine months. On the other hand, there are those who favor what is called the pro-life position. In this perspective, the fetus, from the moment of conception, is a full rights-bearing human being.

  • Judith Jarvis Thomson's Normativity
    Judith Jarvis Thomson’s Normativity Gilbert Harman June 28, 2010 Normativity is a careful, rigorous account of the meanings of basic normative terms like good, virtue, correct, ought, should, and must. Along the way Thomson refutes almost everything other philosophers have said about these topics. It is a very important book.1 Since I am going first in this symposium, I am mainly going to summarize this excellent book. At the end, I will try to indicate briefly I think why it refutes the sort of theory I and others have previously favored. Good Thomson begins by discussing evaluations using the word good. She notes as many others have that good is always used as an attributive adjective. 1This book discusses meta-ethics. She also plans a companion work of normative theory. 1 Something may be a good K or good in a certain respect, but nothing is good period. Thomson goes on to argue this means that emotivism, expressivism, pre- scriptivism and related accounts of the meaning of good cannot be generally correct. Nor does it make sense to suppose that there is no objective test for whether something is a good K or good for such and such a purpose. She argues persuasively that there is such a property as being a good K if and only if K is a goodness fixing kind. So there is no such property as being a good pebble, good act, a good fact, a good state of affairs, a good possible world, and so on, unless what is meant is, for example, a good pebble to use as a paperweight, a morally good act, a state of affairs that is good for Jones, a possible world that is a good example in a certain discussion, and so on.

Zimmerman This is the accepted version of the following article: Zimmerman, Michael. “Judith Jarvis Thomson, Goodness and Advice”, Noûs, 38.3 (2004): 534- 552. which has been published in final form at http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.0029-4624.2004.00482.x ***© Wiley. Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Wiley. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: This article is a review of the book “Goodness and Advice” by Judith Jarvis Thomson. Keywords: Book Review | Philosophy | Judith Jarvis Thomson | Goodness and Advice Article: Judith Jarvis Thomson, Goodness and Advice (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2000), xvi+188 pp. This is an interesting, uneven book. Its core consists of the 1999–2000 Tanner Lectures on Human Values that Thomson delivered at Princeton University and subsequently revised. Part I of these lectures is entitled ‘‘Goodness’’ (39 pages long), Part II ‘‘Advice’’ (40 pages). These lectures are preceded by an introduction by Amy Gutmann (10 pages) and succeeded by comments by Philip Fisher (12 pages), Martha Nussbaum (29 pages), Jerome Schneewind (6 pages), and Barbara Herrnstein Smith (13 pages). The book ends with Thomson’s reply to these comments (33 pages). The interest is due entirely to Thomson, the unevenness to the other contributors. In her lectures, Thomson proves herself still to be at the top of her game: as insightful, incisive, and pithy as ever. Neither the introduction nor the comments do her justice, but an unabashed fan of Thomson such as myself can gain a perverse pleasure (on which Thomson might herself frown) from the decisive manner in which she dispatches her critics.

Sympathetic as I can be to this worry, I respond that our discipline’s frequent abstractness emerges, ideally, from its breadth of aspiration. Here I take a page from Wilfrid Sellars, who once wrote that our project “is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term”. The philosopher’s penchant for abstraction, then, often expresses a desire for far-reaching syntheses of understanding. My pedagogy reflects this desire, even as I acknowledge that philosophical progress is made—and philosophy learned—slowly, and in small increments.

It situates Walzer within an American tradition of social democratic thought and argues that only when he is so situated can his thought be understood fully. Walzer’s engagement with that tradition, most notably through his work on Dissent magazine, has structured how he has responded to many of the major developments in political life over the course of his career, including the decline of movement politics, the rise of neoliberalism, the recent waves of immigration to the USA, and the increased salience of civil society following the demise of the Soviet Union.

  • The Demands of Partnership: a Normative Foundation for Shared Medical Decision-Making Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfil
    The Demands of Partnership: A Normative Foundation for Shared Medical Decision-Making Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Allison Emily Massof, M.A. Graduate Program in Philosophy The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Piers Norris Turner, Adviser Dana Howard Tristram McPherson Abe Roth Copyright by Allison Emily Massof 2018 ii Abstract The contemporary vision of the doctor-patient relationship is a partnership. With the rejection of medical paternalism, ethicists and medical professionals recognized the importance of ensuring that patients were active participants in decisions regarding their care. In place of granting doctors authority to make medical decisions, doctors and patients are now expected to share authority over treatment decisions. However, this expectation is not supported by the current normative foundation for the doctor-patient partnership; specifically, its commitment to respect the patient’s right of self-determination. Therefore, the contemporary ideal of the doctor- patient relationship is at odds with the normative foundation upon which it rests. The aim of this dissertation is to offer a revision to the normative foundation for the doctor-patient partnership, in order to do justice to the ideal of a shared decision-making process. In Chapter 1, I detail the theoretical development of the ideal of the doctor-patient partnership and I identify a tension between the envisioned partnership and the commitment to respect the patient’s right of self-determination. In Chapter 2, I show that this tension is deeper than has been appreciated.
