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 Radhakrishnan ’11, Philosophy Introducing a new Undergraduate Certifi cate Program in SOCIETY INDIVIDUALITY PLURALITY COMMUNITY CITIZEN NATION IDENTITY ETHICS MODERNITY RESPONSIBILITY CASUISTRY OBLIGATION CONSEQUENTIALISM LAW EQUALITY RIGHT WRONG DUTY SUPEREROGATORY RULES FAIRNESS UTILITY RECIPROCITY RULES EQUALITY JUSTICE COMPASSION CASUISTRY NATURAL LAW IMPERATIVE OBLIGATION SENTIMENTS FREEDOM DEMOCRACY SOCIETY INDIVIDUALITY COMMUNITY CITIZE NATION IDENTITY ETHICS MODERNITY RESPONSIBILITY CASUISTRY OBLIGATION CONSEQUENTIALISM LAW EQUALITY RIGHT WRONG DUTY SUPEREROGATORY RULES FAIRNESS UTILITY RECIPROCITY RULES FAIRNES EQUALITY JUSTICE COMPASSION CASUISTRY IMPERATIVE OBLIGATION SENTIMENTS FREEDOM DEMOCRACY -
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WORK UNDER DEMOCRACY
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WORK UNDER DEMOCRACY: LABOR, GENDER AND ARENDTIAN CITIZENSHIP Alison Kathryn Staudinger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation Directed by: Stephen Elkin, Professor Emeritus Government & Politics In the interest of promoting a co-constitutive theory of democratic citizenship, this dissertation explores three questions. I ask how work is defined and how this definition creates a hierarchy of types of work, which then leads to my second question, which is how definitions of work or what is not work are carried over into the public space of poli- tics and citizenship, such that even legal citizens may be marginalized by the type of work that they do. I first critique democratic theory, particularly as centered on the idea of the public sphere, for failing to think about work, especially the labor that is required to build these political spaces. I then show how the contemporary economy challenges the ability of citizens to engage in political work because it produces conditions of pre- carious labor, ubiquitous work, the depoliticization of work itself, and incompatibility of wage labor and family life. I use two historical case studies to explore how groups have claimed collective rights housed in the substantive needs of communities when asserting the validity of their work for citizenship. I look to the Articles of Confederation and Dan- iel Shays for an example focused on waged labor, and then the temperance and Anti- temperance movements for a consideration of gendered reproductive labor. I then address my third question, which is whether it is possible to promote the political work of co- constituting a shared public world without also denigrating the labor, particularly care labor, that is supportive of this project. -

Pol'y 711 1989 0Q HeinOnline -- 12 Harv. J. L. & Pub. Pol'y 712 1989 THE UTILITARIAN FOUNDATIONS OF NATURAL LAW RICHARD A. EPSTEIN* Contemporary thinking about rights draws a sharp line be- tween deontological and consequentialist ethical theories. De- ontological theories are associated with the natural law tradition as it has developed in this century, while consequen- tialist theories may be conveniently, if inexactly, grouped as utilitarian. The points of opposition between these approaches have been so often rehearsed that it is only necessary to sum- marize them briefly here. Natural rights theories regard them- selves as theories of individual entitlement, not as theories of social good. Their emphasis on the justice of the individual case, the intimate connection between the doer and the sufferer of harm, makes them overtly anti-instrumental in orientation.' They disavow the idea that the consequences of any legal rule could justify its adoption or rejection. -
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. -

Mood-Consciousness and Architecture
Mood-Consciousness and Architecture Mood-Consciousness and Architecture: A Phenomenological Investigation of Therme Vals by way of Martin Heidegger’s Interpretation of Mood A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER of SCIENCE in ARCHITECTURE In the School of Architecture and Interior Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning 2011 by Afsaneh Ardehali Master of Architecture, California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, CA 1987 Committee Members: John E. Hancock (Chair) Nnamdi Elleh, Ph.D. Mood-Consciousness and Architecture abstract This thesis is an effort to unfold the disclosing power of mood as the basic character of all experiencing as well as theorizing in architecture. Having been confronted with the limiting ways of the scientific approach to understanding used in the traditional theoretical investigations, (according to which architecture is understood as a mere static object of shelter or aesthetic beauty) we turn to Martin Heidegger’s existential analysis of the meaning of Being and his new interpretation of human emotions. Translations of philosophers Eugene Gendlin, Richard Polt, and Hubert Dreyfus elucidate the deep meaning of Heidegger’s investigations and his approach to understanding mood. In contrast to our customary beliefs, which are largely informed by scientific understanding of being and emotions, this new understanding of mood clarifies our experience of architecture by shedding light on the contextualizing character of mood. In this expanded horizon of experiencing architecture, the full potentiality of mood in our experience of architecture becomes apparent in resoluteness of our new Mood-Consciousness of architecture. -

California's Angelides to Lead Financial Crisis Probe
California’s Angelides to Lead Financial Crisis Probe Bloomberg By Jesse Westbrook and James Rowley July 15, 2009 July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Former California Treasurer Philip Angelides will lead a panel charged by Congress with investigating causes of the financial crisis following public anger at the $700 billion taxpayer rescue of Wall Street banks. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid today announced the appointment of Angelides, 56, who lost to Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2006 California gubernatorial race. House and Senate Republicans named former U.S. Representative Bill Thomas as the panel’s vice chairman. “The commission will conduct a thorough, systemic and non- partisan examination of the failures in both government and financial markets,” Pelosi, a California Democrat, said in a statement. “The American people deserve nothing less than a full explanation of why so many people lost their homes, their life’s savings and their hard-earned pensions.” The panel, with six members appointed by Democrats and four by Republicans, has subpoena power and may identify firms and individuals judged responsible for contributing to the deepest recession since the Great Depression. Congress modeled the commission on a 1930s panel headed by Senate staff member Ferdinand Pecora that led to the creation of agencies and laws that policed financial firms for seven decades. Since September, the government has been forced to prop up firms including Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp., American International Group Inc., General Motors Corp. and housing finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
