Simone Weil on rights language and force

Roche, Patricia January 1992 (has links)
This thesis is an exercise in the retrieval of a critique of the moral language of rights. Grounded in her account of moral agency and her analysis of force, Simone Weil's critique of rights language goes beyond, although it contains, the Marxist view of rights language as ideological, as masking power relations. Weil argued not only that humans are unable to extract themselves from social and economic relations in order to appear equal on the political level, but also they are unable to extract themselves from the consequences of force. The thesis clarifies the Weilian appeal to examine in detail the consequences of force as a precondition to justice. Failure to conduct such an examination Weil views as a flight from reality, a consolation. Weil argued that facing the consequences of force is a virtue and requires the exercise of attention, a pivotal concept of her paradigm of renunciation. Weil's ethical category of affliction represents the psycho-social dimensions of extreme forms of victimization. Weil distinguished three objects of violation that compose reification: the body, self-interpretation and relatedness. The capacity to articulate, Weil argues, is impaired by practices which result in affliction. The recognition of muteness engenders understanding of the depth of violation. The impact of the muteness of the afflicted on the public sphere, discourse, and conceptions of justice is disclosed by the ethical category of affliction. The category of affliction discloses, not the absent voice but, the absence of a voice.

Rethinking evil with Jacques Derrida

Loewen, Nathan Robert January 2009 (has links)
Evil is an excellent point of departure for exploring the relationship between Jacques Derrida's work and the philosophy of religion. This has not been the explicit focus of any published study on Derrida (1930-2004) thus far. This study explains how central themes in Derrida's writings can open new approaches to the problem of evil. In 1987, David O'Connor realized that the discourse of Anglo-American philosophy of religion had come to an impasse on the problem of evil. In 1998, O'Connor declared a détente between philosophy and theism on the topic. This much was already explained by the French philosopher Henry Duméry in 1968. The appeal to Derrida's writings does not provide the missing master key to this situation. However, the challenges Derrida sets forward for Western philosophy may also be taken as fundamental challenges resting within the structure of evil itself. The upshot not only challenges theism; it also knocks down arguments against theism. The study's first chapter reviews the debate on evil within the philosophy of religion as challenges to theism's credibility. These are the logical (Pike 1963), evidential (Rowe 1979), and probabilistic (Draper 1989) arguments from evil. Chapters two to six outline Derrida's basic concepts and then elaborate how they substantially challenge the prevailing presumptions about the problem of evil. The results from this investigation establish an original application of Derrida's thought relevant to theodicy and the problem of evil. Chapter seven finally summarizes how the problem of evil is to be reconsidered vis-à-vis Derrida's writings. / Le problème du mal est un excellent point de départ pour exposer le rapport entre Jacques Derrida et la philosophie de la religion. Jusqu'ici, pareille approche n'a été entreprise par aucune recherche sur la pensée de Derrida (1930-2004). La présente étude expose comment des thèmes au centre de l'œuvre de Derrida peuvent ouvrir de nouvelles voies dans le traitement de ce problème. En 1987, David O'Connor prenait acte que le discours utilisé dans la philosophie anglo-américaine de la religion était dans l'impasse relativement au problème du mal, et en 1998, il proposait une trève entre la philosophie et le théisme sur cette question. Tout cela avait été constaté et proposé déjà en 1978 par le philosophe français Henry Duméry. L'analyse de l'œuvre de Derrida présentée dans cette étude ne fournit aucunement la solution manquante. En revanche, les défis que représente Derrida pour la philosophie occidentale peuvent être considérés également comme des défis fondamentaux posés par la structure même du mal, avec pour résultat que non seulement le théisme est critiqué, mais tout autant les arguments opposés à celui-ci.Suite à l'exposé du débat sur la question du mal et le rejet de la crédibilité du théisme en philosophie de la religion notamment de la part des approches dites 'logique' (Pike 1963), 'évidentielle' (Rowe 1979), et 'probabiliste' (Draper 1989), les chapitres deux à six présentent des concepts de base élaborés par Derrida et expliquent dans quelle mesure ces concepts mettent en question les opinions principales sur le problème du mal présentées au chapitre premier. Le septième et dernier chapitre montre également toute l'originalité de la pensée de Derrida concernant la théodicée et la question du mal.

Civil marriage commissioners in the province of Saskatchewan: religious freedom and public service

Harwood, Philip January 2009 (has links)
This thesis attempts to address the issue of religious freedom and public service by specifically examining the policy implemented by the Government of Saskatchewan towards its civil marriage commissioners in 2004. This work takes a critical look at four key aspects: first, reasonable accommodation – its history, its application in the Canadian context and the academic debates pertaining to religious accommodation; second, the policymaking process employed by the Province of Saskatchewan; third, Canadian jurisprudence on freedom of religion cases; and finally, contemporary academic approaches to the role of religion in the public sphere. Taken together, these issues suggest that the contemporary shift in understanding and applying norms of reasonable accommodation, in conjunction with the current judicial trend to assign religious belief to the private sphere, reinforces the notion that the religious rights of private citizens are limited when they assume a public role. / Cette thèse examine la question de la liberté de religion et la fonction publique, en analysant spécifiquement la politique mise en place par le Gouvernement de la Saskatchewan vis-à-vis les commissaires aux mariages civils en 2004. Cet ouvrage jette un regard critique sur quatre aspects principaux: le premier, l'accommodement raisonnable - son histoire, son application dans le contexte canadien et les débats académiques liés à l'accommodement religieux; le deuxième, le processus d'élaboration des politiques utilisé par la province de la Saskatchewan; le troisième, la jurisprudence canadienne sur la liberté de religion; et finalement, les approches académiques contemporaines vis-à-vis le rôle de la religion dans la sphère publique. Ensemble, ces enjeux suggèrent que le changement contemporain dans la compréhension et l'application des normes d'accommodement raisonnable, en conjonction avec la tendance judiciaire actuelle d'assigner des croyances religieuses à la sphère publique, renforcent la notion que les droits religieux des citoyens privés sont limités lorsqu'ils adoptent un rôle public.
