Human Values Annual Review 2011 “As someone with interests in both meta-level philosophy debates and more applied issues in normative ethics and political theory, the values and public life (VPL) program was a way for me to integrate these areas. The VPL program also afforded wonderful opportunities to attend lectures on the applied and academic areas of values—something that doesn’t often come together in certificate programs.” Shivani

  • Habits Matter
    LivingstonCPSA2008.doc (may 12/2008) On the Micropolitical Alex Livingston Department of Political Science University of Toronto [email protected] DRAFT. Do not cite or circulate without the author’s permission. I. Introduction A turn to micropolitics appears to be going on in contemporary American political theory. Defined in its broadest terms, micropolitics is a politics of the ordinary that politicises habits, dispositions, feelings, the body, emotions, and thinking as potential sites of domination and resistance below the hallowed heights of liberal principles of justice. The claim of micropolitics is that justice talk, whether liberal, communitarian or otherwise, is insufficient if it remains narrowly confined to the ordering of basic institutions or of the idea of a political community as such. More everyday and ubiquitous practices and attitudes work to realize or hinder the potential of principles and institutions. And at this lower register, new conceptions of action, judgment, and responsibility are needed. In a recent edited volume Jane Bennett and Michael J. Shapiro define the substance of this turn as follows, “In sum, to engage in micropolitics is to pay attention to the connections between affective registers of experience and collective identities and practices. The aim is to encourage a more intentional project of reforming, refining, intensifying, or disciplining the emotions, aesthetic impulses, urges, and moods that enter into one’s political programs, party affiliations, ideological commitments, and policy preferences.”1 Defined as such, this could include a Foucaultian micropolitics of capillary power and arts of resistance, a Benjaminian micropolitics of capitalist phantasmagoria and redemptive critique, or even an Aristotelian micropolitics of the prior associations of the polis and virtuous self-cultivation.

  • The Abolition of Emerson: the Secularization of America’S Poet-Priest and the New Social Tyranny It Signals
    THE ABOLITION OF EMERSON: THE SECULARIZATION OF AMERICA’S POET-PRIEST AND THE NEW SOCIAL TYRANNY IT SIGNALS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Justin James Pinkerman, M.A. Washington, DC February 1, 2019 Copyright 2019 by Justin James Pinkerman All Rights Reserved ii THE ABOLITION OF EMERSON: THE SECULARIZATION OF AMERICA’S POET-PRIEST AND THE NEW SOCIAL TYRANNY IT SIGNALS Justin James Pinkerman, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Dr. Richard Boyd, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Motivated by the present climate of polarization in US public life, this project examines factional discord as a threat to the health of a democratic-republic. Specifically, it addresses the problem of social tyranny, whereby prevailing cultural-political groups seek to establish their opinions/sentiments as sacrosanct and to immunize them from criticism by inflicting non-legal penalties on dissenters. Having theorized the complexion of factionalism in American democracy, I then recommend the political thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson as containing intellectual and moral insights beneficial to the counteraction of social tyranny. In doing so, I directly challenge two leading interpretations of Emerson, by Richard Rorty and George Kateb, both of which filter his thought through Friedrich Nietzsche and Walt Whitman and assimilate him to a secular-progressive outlook. I argue that Rorty and Kateb’s political theories undercut Emerson’s theory of self-reliance by rejecting his ethic of humility and betraying his classically liberal disposition, thereby squandering a valuable resource to equip individuals both to refrain from and resist social tyranny.

  • Cosmopolitanism and Nonhuman Animals ANGIE PEPPER
    Beyond Anthropocentrism: ANGIE PEPPER Cosmopolitanism and Nonhuman Animals Abstract: All cosmopolitan approaches to global distributive justice are premised on the idea that humans are the primary units of moral concern. In this paper, I argue that neither relational nor non-relational cosmopolitans can unquestioningly assume the moral primacy of humans. Furthermore, I argue that, by their own lights, cosmopolitans must extend the scope of justice to most, if not all, nonhuman animals. To demonstrate that cosmopolitans cannot simply ‘add nonhuman animals and stir,’ I examine the cosmopolitan position developed by Martha Nussbaum in Frontiers of Justice. I argue that while Nussbaum explicitly includes nonhuman animals within the scope of justice, her account is marked by an unjustifiable anthropocentric bias. I ultimately conclude that we must radically reconceptualise the primary unit of cosmopolitan moral concern to encompass most, if not all, sentient animals. Keywords: Global justice; cosmopolitanism; nonhuman animals; sentience; relational and non-relational; capabilities approach • Introduction All cosmopolitan approaches to global distributive justice are premised on the notion that individuals are the primary units of moral concern. Specifically, most mainstream cosmopolitans consider these individuals to be genetically human. That is to say, cosmopolitans tend to view only humans as the proper subjects of justice and deal only with justice as it applies to inter-human relationships. However, as I will demonstrate, the omission

Abstract A research within the all-embracing scientific field of global justice has showed me that the core of this field, since its origin beginning of the 1970s, in fact comprises a debate – between cosmopolitan scholars on one side of the spectrum and nationalistic scholars on the other side – about the desirable scope to reach it. Whereas cosmopolitans think that global justice should be reached outside the borders of the Westphalian nation-state, the nationalistic scholars argue until this day that the state has some crucial characteristics, which makes it the only suitable level on which global justice can be reached. Within the light of a more and more globalized world order – focussing on concepts like social justice, Westphalian nation-state, and sovereignty - this thesis will examine arguments from both sides of the field. Because of the comprehensive character of the field of global justice, my main challenge will be to maintain my demarcation and accordingly to get an insight into the most appropriate scope to organize and eventually reach social justice on a global scale.

More particularly, the course examines emerging cosmopolitan visions, doctrines, and arguments about the justification of our responsibilities toward global justice via challenging the internationalist legal norms. To pursue these goals, the course begins with the assumption that the critical examination of any kind of moral duty toward those who are suffering from injustice requires us to understand and evaluate our responsibility with respect to global justice.
