It welcomes clear, rigorous and original submissions that address concrete issues of public concern as well as more abstract theoretical questions. It also has the distinctive aims of (a) fostering work drawing on a variety of disciplines within the social and natural sciences, including biology, economics, history, and psychology; and (b) promoting dialogue between the Anglophone and non-Anglophone worlds. We invite submissions of articles up to 10,000 words, discussion notes up to 5,000 words, and replies and exchanges not exceeding 3,000 words. All published submissions will have undergone blind review, and the journal will notify authors of submitted pieces about the progress of their submission within six weeks. Although LEAP accepts exclusively submissions in English, the journal strongly encourages submissions from authors who also write in languages other than English, and will always strive to ensure that their work is assessed on the basis of its content and not primarily its mode of expression. Where necessary the editorial process provides authors with guidance regarding matters of English style. The journal is published by Pompeu Fabra University and hosted by RACO, the Catalan repository of open access journals (http://raco.cat/index.php/leap) Enquiries regarding the journal may be directed to: [email protected].

  • Existential Risk Prevention As Global Priority
    Global Policy Volume 4 . Issue 1 . February 2013 15 Existential Risk Prevention as Global Priority Nick Bostrom Research Article University of Oxford Abstract Existential risks are those that threaten the entire future of humanity. Many theories of value imply that even relatively small reductions in net existential risk have enormous expected value. Despite their importance, issues surrounding human-extinction risks and related hazards remain poorly understood. In this article, I clarify the concept of existential risk and develop an improved classification scheme. I discuss the relation between existential risks and basic issues in axiology, and show how existential risk reduction (via the maxipok rule) can serve as a strongly action-guiding principle for utilitarian concerns. I also show how the notion of existential risk suggests a new way of thinking about the ideal of sustainability. Policy Implications • Existential risk is a concept that can focus long-term global efforts and sustainability concerns. • The biggest existential risks are anthropogenic and related to potential future technologies. • A moral case can be made that existential risk reduction is strictly more important than any other global public good. • Sustainability should be reconceptualised in dynamic terms, as aiming for a sustainable trajectory rather than a sus- tainable state. • Some small existential risks can be mitigated today directly (e.g. asteroids) or indirectly (by building resilience and reserves to increase survivability in a range of extreme scenarios) but it is more important to build capacity to improve humanity’s ability to deal with the larger existential risks that will arise later in this century. This will require collective wisdom, technology foresight, and the ability when necessary to mobilise a strong global coordi- nated response to anticipated existential risks.

THE HISTORICAL IMPACT OF PHILOSOPHICAL NATURALISM ON AMERICAN AESTHETIC EDUCATION: BENNETT REIMER’S PHILOSOPHY OF MUSIC EDUCATION AS AESTHETIC EDUCATION A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music The University of Mississippi by JEREMY EDWIN SCARBROUGH June 2015 Copyright Jeremy Edwin Scarbrough 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Philosophical naturalism is the view that all of reality reduces to natural explanation. The resulting so-called fact-value split biases language against universal, objective values—where empirical observation is said to determine truth, while values are reduced to private emoting or socio-cultural human construction. This research questioned the definition of aesthetic value as determined by the music education as aesthetic education (MEAE) movement in the United States, and the justification of aesthetic education as a universally applicable and comprehensive approach to a course in general music/music appreciation.

Both respond to the need for a new human identity that addresses questions about the ability of the human being to know its nature and the nature of the universe, act freely, know right from wrong, and find meaning and value in existence.

  • Why Read Philosophy?
    1 (Meta-Philosophy) Why read philosophy? (of original and –creative thinking rather than derivative, academic, professional philosophers) Ulrich de Balbian Director Meta-philosophy Research Center 1 Bereft of all feeling, deprived of all passion, devoid of sense, robbed of its humanity and stripped of any humaneness ‘philosophy’ had become when in the hands of mostly anglo-saxon, so-called analytic ‘philosophers’ and mostly white, male, seemingly confused, elderly , ‘continental ‘philosophers. The passion that drives the thinker through the Socratic questioning are forgotten and the slight glimpse of a vision of the golden dawn now and then revealed in Heidegger by the lover of wisdom are replaced by pseudo-logic aspirations and sterile mathematical notions of those who produce an infinity of peer reviewed articles and endless writings to fulfil the contract of their tenure as paid, professional thinkers who must produce on the academic assembly-line of living off ‘philosophy’. We are left we the bare bones of semantics expressed by the semiotics that are reflected by the norms of reasoning and some form of, usually informal, logic. Why do philosophy, why grasp, approach and ring out the blood from almost anything, any thing, any thought, and why read every word and grasp its wrestling for meaning with the philosopher who tears them out of his heart, cleansed by his mind, why try to tune in to his stream of consciousness in an attempt to share that what he tries to catch a fleeting glimpse of and express by means of ideas, words, concepts, phrase, propositions, statements and sentences? We read philosophy so as to tune into the life, the existence, the passion, the fear, the dread, the occasional delight and happiness felt by the thinker wrestling all day and all night, like Jacob, with THE ONE.
