  • Post-Continental Philosophy: Its Definition, Contours, and Fundamental Sources
    Post-continental Philosophy: Its Definition, Contours, and Fundamental Sources NELSON MALDONADO-TORRES It is no accident that the global geographical framework in use today is essentially a cartographic celebration of European power. After centuries of imperialism, the presumptions of a worldview of a once-dominant metropole has become part of the intellectual furniture of the world…. Metageography matters, and the attempt to engage it critically has only begun. Martin W. Lewis and Kären W. Wigen, The Myth of Continents.1 or several decades now the contours of legitimate philosophy have been drawn by advocates of F so-called analytic and continental philosophies. Analytic philosophy is often referred to as a style of thinking centered on the question of whether something is true, rather than, as continental philosophy, on the multiple factors that constitute meaning.2 Analytic philosophy is also said to be closer to the sciences, while continental philosophy has more affinity with the humanities.3 One of the reasons for this lies in that while analytic philosophy tends to dismiss history from its reflections, continental philosophy typically emphasizes the relevance of time, tradition, lived experience, and/or social context. Fortunately, this situation is slowly but gradually changing today. A variety of intellectuals are defying the rigid boundaries of these fields. Some of the most notable are Afro- American, Afro-Caribbean, and Latina/o scholars using the arsenal of these bodies of thought to analyze and interpret problems related to colonialism, racism, and sexism in the contemporary world.4 These challenges demand a critical analysis of the possibilities and limits of change within the main coordinates of these different styles or forms of philosophizing.

Although I was studying sport and play in a different department, I was intrigued by the title – art seemed closely related to play and sport in the landscape of human experiences. Further, the course was offered at a convenient time and it fulfilled a deficiency I had toward graduation. Unfortunately, I had no idea what I was getting into. The course readings, which included Martin Heidegger, Friedrich Nietzsche, Maurice Merleau- Ponty, Jacques Derrida, Jurgen Habermas, and, most prominently, Hans-Georg Gadamer, seemed so dense that they necessitated long hours of introduction and prior training that I did not have.

  • Journals Code of Ethics of the Academy of International Business 1
    Academy of International Business THE JOURNALS CODE OF ETHICS OF THE ACADEMY OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS 1 Adopted February 9, 2018; Revised April 28, 2020 1. PREAMBLE 1.1. The Academy of International Business (AIB) aspires to select and publish, through peer review, the highest quality research in international business. To achieve this goal, the entire peer review and publication process at all AIB journals should be thorough, objective and fair. Journal reputation depends heavily on the trust by all stakeholders in the fairness of the peer review and publication process. A formal Journals Code of Ethics, outlining guidelines for good behavior and proposing solutions to ethical dilemmas facing Authors, Reviewers and Editors can build stakeholder trust and improve journal reputation. 1.2. With this goal in mind, the AIB Journals Code of Ethics is designed to be a comprehensive policy for peer review and publication ethics in all scholarly publications of the Academy of International Business. This Code describes the AIB Journals’ policies for ensuring the ethical treatment of all participants in the peer review and publication process. The Code is divided in six parts: Preamble, Scope and Definitions, Author Ethics, Reviewer Ethics, Editor Ethics, and Implementation and Enforcement. 1.3. Authors, Reviewers and Editors of AIB Journals are encouraged to study the Code and address any questions or concerns to the respective Journal Editor-in-Chief or the Managing Editor. 1.4. The Academy of International Business is a member of and subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), at www.publicationethics.org. 2. SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS 2.1.

  • Review of Matthew Calarco's Zoographies: the Question of the Animal from Heidegger to Derrida
    Between the Species, IX, August 2009, http://cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ BETWEEN THE SPECIES Issue IX August 2009 http://cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ Review of Matthew Calarco's Zoographies: The Question of the Animal from Heidegger to Derrida Donald L. Turner Nashville State Community College In Zoographies, Matthew Calarco offers an insightful analysis of anthropocentric trends in recent Continental philosophers Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Levinas, Giorgio Agamben, and Jacques Derrida, combined with provocative suggestions for advancing beyond the Western tradition’s humanistic dead-end thinking on interspecies ethics. An introductory essay situates animal questions within Continental philosophy. It grounds Calarco’s argument within the lineage of possibilities opened by Heidegger’s critique of modern metaphysical humanism and Derrida’s deconstructive analysis of an essentialist, reductionist “human-animal” binary, and it presents two main theses: that the Continental tradition is pervasively and detrimentally anthropocentric and that the human-animal distinction can and should be abandoned to clear the way for more genuine encounters with other animal species and promote their more appropriate philosophical and political treatment. He contextualizes his argument with references to prominent pro-animal philosophical trends, distinguishing his approach from that of some types of “identity politics,” by which progressive agendas are divided and vitiated, and 1 Between the Species, IX, August 2009, http://cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ from those approaches that rely too heavily on a notion of subjectivity that has problematic blind spots and metaphysical baggage. Unlike Levinas, Slavoj Žižek, and Alain Badiou, who attempt to rethink subjectivity in the wake of Heideggerian and Derridean critiques, Calarco declares his suspicion with ethical and political structures erected on this basis, most of which remain problematically anthropocentric.

  • Ethics on Film for Filmmakers
    Ethics on Film for Filmmakers Ethics is not simply a set of politically correct views on specific issues, or a particular moralistic stand, or a bully flag planted in the sand. It’s a process that helps us come to terms with our toughest dilemmas. It’s not a compromise; it’s a lens. -- Rushworth M. Kidder, How Good People Make Tough Choices Ethics and Film combine in so many delicious ways to achieve multiple student learning outcomes: Introduce ethical theory through film; introduce ethical analysis as a stream of film criticism; ground students in the social responsibilities of the filmmaker and artist; demonstrate how ethical conflict and resolution enhance character development in screenwriting and define the "moral center" of a script. A wealth of theoretical and applied ethical knowledge can be learned "in the dark" through film viewings, analysis, discussion, and writing (and, of course rewriting). Millennial students tend to come to the classroom with underdeveloped social value systems. Combined with limited life experiences, their film preferences and film imagination are Lights! Camera! Ethics! – Page 2 equally limited and underdeveloped. Immersive exposure to character-driven narratives that struggle with ethical dilemmas not only widens their knowledge of film forms, but also allows them to vicariously participate in life experiences that can lead to greater self-analysis, awareness, and growth. They subsequently increase their abilities to create more nuanced, complex, and textured characters and film stories of their own. Through a greater practice and appreciation of ethical analysis of the films they experience, students also become sharper observers, critics, and writers about film.

  • The Sense of Incredibility in Ethics
    Philos Stud DOI 10.1007/s11098-017-1007-1 The sense of incredibility in ethics Nicholas Laskowski1 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature 2017 Abstract It is often said that normative properties are ‘‘just too different’’ to reduce to other kinds of properties. This suggests that many philosophers find it difficult to believe reductive theses in ethics. I argue that the distinctiveness of the normative concepts we use in thinking about reductive theses offers a more promising explanation of this psychological phenomenon than the falsity of Reductive Real- ism. To identify the distinctiveness of normative concepts, I use resources from familiar Hybrid views of normative language and thought to develop a Hybrid view of normative concepts. In addition to using this new Hybrid view to explain why reductive theses are difficult to believe, I show how to preserve several patterns of inference involving normative concepts that, intuitively, it is possible to make, and hence answer an important recent challenge to Hybrid views from Mark Schroeder. Keywords Normative concepts Á Hybridism Á Reductive realism Á Robust realism 1 Introduction Try to remember your initial exposure to philosophical ethics. In particular, try to recall one of your first encounters with a reductive idea in ethics, like the claim that the wrongness of an action is identical to its failing to maximize pleasure. If your experience was anything like mine, then you might be remembering yourself in a lecture hall struggling to take such an idea seriously; that is, you might be remembering how incredible you found such an idea to be.

  • The Problem with Printing Palmyra: Exploring the Ethics of Using 3D Printing Technology to Reconstruct Heritage
    The Problem with Printing Palmyra: Exploring the Ethics of Using 3D Printing Technology to Reconstruct Heritage ROSHNI KHUNTI, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom The use of 3D printing technology to reconstruct the Arch of Triumph in Palmyra has opened a Pandora’s Box of ethical issues relating to the use of digital technology to preserve heritage represented by historical objects and sites. The author investigates the ethical implications of the three replicas of the arch made by IDA in New York, London, and Dubai after the original was destroyed in the Syrian Civil War. The ethics of digital reconstructions of heritage are not yet coded by UNESCO or ICOMOS, but it is important to hold reconstructed heritage to the same ethical expectations as other types of heritage. This paper concludes that the reconstructed arch failed to meet these expectations in four key ways. First, it does not address the human loss in Palmyra and the contribution of the Assad regime to its destruction. Second, despite an ostensible commitment to reproduction, the reconstructed arch is inaccurate in material and scale. Third, the arch is patented by the IDA and has had limited public and digital access. Finally, the reconstruction promotes a potentially irresponsible culture of quickly reconstructing destroyed heritage without respect for the context or current needs of the respective people. Through delving into Pandora’s Box, this article aims to highlight ethical issues specific to digital reconstructions of heritage that need to be addressed in formal codes of ethics concerning the preservation of heritage represented by historical objects and sites.

  • Badiou's Ethics
    PI; 12 (2001),256-265. Sam Gillespie 257 Lyotard's return to Kant, euthanasia,+ Nancy's community, NATO's military interventions: however much these positions may differ, all presuppose a rather vague means for regulating specific situations under the banner of ethics (politics, science, society, female bodies, and so forth). If the latter could be called singular situations, each containing an Badiou's Ethics internal possibility for human action, ethics is imposed from what Badiou calls the State of this situation - that is, from a position that governs or represents the situation's terms. The State is a metastructural doubling of A review of Alain Badiou, Ethics: An Essay on the Understanding the situation itself; it is what insures the consistency of any situation's of Evil, trans. Peter Hallward (London: Verso, 2001) presentation. And since intervention for Badiou can only come from within the situation, the operations of ethics are regulative, or normative; SAM GILLESPIE they inhibit human action as such. Badiou's strike against ethics is two-fold. On the one hand, he argues that ethics simply presumes a vague foundation on which judgements concerning singular situations are to be made. Since it always operates at Ethics is the third book by Alain Badiou to be translated into English, and an indeterminate distance from the situation, ethics can only ever be its reception will undoubtedly do little to diminish his reputation as a limiting or restrictive. Against this, Badiou proposes a move away from polemical and contentious thinker. A rather imposing quote from Slavoj the general tropes that ethics presupposes (life, the human, the Other) Zizek on the back cover amply, if misleadingly, illustrates what the stakes towards the singularity of situations as such.

  • How to Make up One's Mind: Reason, Passion, and Ethics in Spirit
    MICHAEL LAMBEK How to Make Up One’s Mind: Reason, Passion, and Ethics in Spirit Possession ABSTRACT What does it mean to know one’s own mind, to make up one’s mind, or to be of two minds? The paper explores some of the assumptions Westerners make about mind and confronts them with elements from the ethnography of spirit possession among Malagasy speakers. It challenges the assumption that a unified state of mind, exemplified by pure reason as opposed to passion, is the necessary basis for sound ethical judgment and action. Keywords: action, passion, reason, ethics, models of mind, spirit possession In 1985 an Air India flight out of Toronto exploded over the mid-Atlantic. This was one of the few pieces of news mentioning Canada to reach the inhabitants of the western Indian Ocean island of Mayotte where I had 1 carried out anthropological fieldwork a decade earlier. The news was received with some consternation in the home of my close friends Mohedja Salim and Tumbu Vita because the crash took place at approxi- mately the date on which, as I had written them, my family and I were leaving Canada en route to Mayotte. Being unaware of the volume of air traffic from Toronto, they were very worried. However, as in many a crisis and anxious moment before, Tumbu called upon their trusted diviner, who assured them that we were safely on our way and would arrive by the end of the Muslim month. What makes this incident stand 1 I gratefully acknowledge the support of the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
